Watford FC Women will be in action at The Vic for the first time this season when they welcome Plymouth Argyle on Sunday.

Read on for a full preview of the game, and details on how you can get your tickets to support the Golden Girls.

How The Land Lies

Watford have won their last three games in a row and currently sit fifth in the FA Women's National League South.

The Golden Girls are three points behind Oxford United in fourth place, but boast three games in hand over the U's.

Renée Hector's side have also played three games fewer than Exeter City in third, but are seven points behind the Devon club.

Plymouth are 11th in the table and are one point adrift of safety in the relegation zone.

They have won five, drawn one and lost 12 of their games this season.

The two sides have already met twice this term - with Watford winning the away league fixture 4-0 in January.

In December, Argyle knocked the Golden Girls out of the FA Women's National League Cup with a 1-0 home win in the quarter-finals.

Pre-Match Chat

Hornets Head Coach Renée Hector told watfordfc.com that the squad is relishing the opportunity to play at Vicarage Road.

"We're really excited," she said. "It's always a nice occasion to play at The Vic.

"I was able to do it as a player myself, which was nice, and I was in the dugout with the guys last year.

"I think the players are always excited and up for it. There are quite a lot of players who have never played at The Vic." 

Hector added that nothing would change in terms of preparation, despite the team being used to playing their home games at Grosvenor Vale.

"It's important that we play the game and not the occasion," she said. "Obviously it's important that the players enjoy it as it's not something that comes around every week, but in terms of the gameplan and the focus on the game, nothing changes there.

"We're on a nice little run at the minute, and we obviously want to keep that momentum and keep that winning streak going. That's exactly what we're going to try and do."

Watford are 13 points behind leaders Hashtag United, with three games in hand, and seven points behind second-placed Ipswich Town on the same number of matches.

"At this point there are certain positions in the league that are out of our hands," Hector added.

"We have to take each game as it comes and try and get maximum points.

"Week by week we'll look at who we are playing and maybe adapt certain things, but we're always going into it with that winning mentality."
