Plymouth Parkway v Berkhamsted Prediction: In-form Neal to play his part in 23/4 Bet Builder

All eyes will be on Bolitho Park on Monday night when the TV cameras head to Devon for the FA Cup first-round tie between Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted.

The two clubs would have wanted a bigger draw in their first-ever FA Cup first-round tie, but one of these Southern League Premier Division South teams will reach the second round, where more lucrative ties await.

Plymouth Parkway have beaten Gosport, Frome, Horsham FC and Chertsey to reach the first round, while Berkhamsted beat Bishop's Stortford, Hendon, Redditch and Southend to book their spot in Monday's tie.

The two teams have yet to meet each other in the league, but Monday's tie will be the first of two meetings in the next five weeks.

Plymouth Parkway v Berkhamsted Prediction

Best Bet: Plymouth Parkway to win @ 11/10

A glance at the Southern League Premier Division South suggests Plymouth Parkway should come out on top as they are 11 points and eight places better off than Berkhamsted.

Karl Curtis' team have won nine of their 15 league games and they have scored 32 goals.

Berkhamsted have not been as consistent and most of their struggles have come in front of goal, having only found the net on 18 occasions.

If Monday's clash was on Berkhamsted's patch, they may fancy their chances, but a home win looks likely.

Berkhamsted have conceded 20 goals in the Southern League Premier Division South, with 14 of those coming away from home and they have won only two of their eight away matches.

Plymouth Parkway have built their success around their home form and they have won five in a row on home soil, while only Bath have beaten them at home this season and that defeat came in the FA Trophy.

Both teams are bound to be nervous, but Plymouth Parkway's home form is too good to ignore.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 5/4

Monday's fixture is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both sets of players in front of the TV cameras and more eyes will be on the game as the international break starts.

Instead of the pressure getting to both teams, a high-scoring game could be in store. At least four goals have been scored in Plymouth Parkway's last two matches, while four goals have been scored in two of Berkhamsted's last four outings.

At least three goals have been scored in Berkhamsted's last four away ties and both teams are likely to put everything on the line in a game that means so much to both clubs.

Plymouth Parkway v Berkhamsted Bet Builder Tip

  • Jonathan Lacey to score

  • Rocky Neal to score

    Pays @ 23/4

With a high-scoring game on the cards, it makes sense to look at the forwards for each club for our Bet Builder.

Berkhamsted have relied on Jonathan Lacey in the final third, with the forward scoring six goals already in the Southern League Premier Division South.

Lacey is Berkhamsted's penalty taker, so he offers several routes to goal in the opening leg of our Bet Builder.

At the other end of the pitch, Rocky Neal is in tremendous form and he should lead Plymouth Parkway's charge.

He has 12 goals in the league and he has 13 goals in all competitions, as well as six assists, so another big performance is expected on the big stage.
