Betting on Watford
Watford’s performance drastically changes when it plays at home in front of its fans. The team hasn’t lost a home game since December 26, when it fell to Millwall.
Since then, Watford has won three matches and drawn four at Vicarage Road. It’s been a tough Championship season for the team after its relegation from the Premier League last season. In fact, its chances of returning to the Premier League this season are dwindling, as it is now in 11th place, and is coming off a loss to Luton Town.
One of its major problems lies in the attacking zone. The team’s top scorers are struggling to find the back of the net. Senegalese player Ismaïla Sarr (9 goals) has only scored 3 in the last 13 matches, while Brazilian João Pedro (9) has only scored one in the last 10 games.
Betting on Huddersfield
Huddersfield has recently shown a glimmer of hope with two consecutive wins to climb out of the relegation zone (currently in 22nd place).
Despite still holding 22nd place, the team seems to be on the right track based on its recent performances. It’s incredible to note that both victories were achieved against teams currently in the playoffs: Millwall and Middlesbrough.
However, Huddersfield’s away form has been dismal, with only three wins in the 19 games played. The team’s top scorer, Scottish striker Jordan Rhodes, has only scored five goals and has lost his starting position after going 15 games without scoring.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tomas Vaclik; Matty Pearson, Tom Lees, Michal Helik and Josh Ruffels; Jonathan Hogg and Rarmani Edmonds-Green; Duane Holmes, Jack Rudoni and Josh Koroma; Danny Ward.
JefeBet Prediction
Watford is strong at home, and although it has an irregular performance and will face an opponent that seems to have reacted, the home team will have no problems to show its superiority and win with solvency this upcoming Watford vs Huddersfield clash.
Prediction: Watford wins 2 to 0.
