Plymouth Parkway are more likely to edge this tight FA Cup tie
The odds are a bit against the grain in this one, with Plymouth Parkway coming in at 13/10, Berkhamsted FC 33/20 and the draw at 27/10, so there may be some value in taking the hosts on Monday.
This is a classic clash of a press vs structure and the up-tempo nature of the way Plymouth Parkway play under Karl Curtis, who likes his teams to get bodies forward, press high up and then transition quickly, will test the discipline of Berkhamsted's disciplined, compact and adaptable set-up, constructed around a solid shape and quick counter-attacks by Chris Devane.
The Yellows have been in good, but not great form, recently, winning three, drawing none and losing two of their last five in the SLPDS, while the Comrades are also a little up and down after winning four, drawing two and losing four of their previous ten in all competitions. The cup tie looks fairly poised but Plymouth Parkway's home advantage and top end form should just see them through.
Plymouth Parkway’s attacking duo make them the most likely victors
Plymouth Parkway are hard to oppose because Berkhamsted FC have not won their last away game at this venue, which gives the hosts a psychological edge.
But there's also a case to be made for Both Teams To Score at 14/25 as the cup game could be a lively but tight contest.
An injury-time winner wouldn't be a surprise in this contest either as both outfits can play.
Plymouth Parkway's Andrew Neal has been in great form lately, bagging two of his team's six goals in their last five, while Berkhamsted FC have been relying on Billy Mardell-Smith to shoulder their attacking burden with two of his side's five goals in their last five coming from his foot.
