Betting on Watford
Although having attained a point in the last matchday against Brunley, while playing away from homemight be considered a great result for Watford, who entered the matchday in sixth place in the standings, a 1-1 draw with a goal conceded in 90+5 will surely have left in coach Slaven Bilic’s and the team’s fans’ mouth a bad aftertaste.
However, they know that in a league as tight as the Championship there is no time for regrets, and that the team must turn the page as quickly as possible, and even more so considering that it is fighting for one of the promotion playoff spots, which seems to be its only alternative to return to the top flight.
If the Watford team wants to remain strong in that battle, it will need to quickly put an end to a run of five matches without a league win, during which it has at least recorded one defeat.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Daniel Bachmann; Mario Gaspar, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Hassane Kamara; Imran Louza, Hamsa Choudhury; Matheus Martins, João Pedro, Ismaïla Sarr; Keinan Davis.
Betting on West Bromwich Albion
West Brom comes into this match having experienced a similar development as Watford in its last time out. The team was unable to secure a home win after allowing a 89th minute goal that evened the match against Blackburn, reaching a 1-1 draw..
This match will present a big challenge for West Brom, who has not been able to defeat Watford away from home since 2010. The team has recorded 2 draws and 2 defeats in the process, and it has gone scoreless in its last three official visits.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Joshua Griffiths; Darnell Furlong, Dara O’Shee, Erik Peters, Conor Townsend; Okay Yokuslu, Jayson Molumby; Jed Wallace, John Swift, Grady Diangana; Daryl Dike.
JefeBet Prediction
The meetings between the two teams are usually very close, and a 1-1 draw in their first clash of the season proves it. That result was also the sixth time in their last eight meetings that they have scored two goals or fewer.
That trend seems very likely to continue in this match, considering that Watford has scored more than one goal in just three of its last 13 official matches, and only one team has scored in seven of West Brom’s last ten league matches.
In fact, 21 of 31 West Brom’s league matches this campaign have seen less than 2.5 goals scored overall, something that has also occurred in 20 of 32 Watford’s outings. Considering all these details, we expect that these teams will once again have a close duel with few goals on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Under (WAT 1-0 WBR).
