Betting on Burnley F.C.
In their most recent encounter, Burnley won 3-0 against Preston in the league. Once again, the Clarets continue to prove that they are far superior at home to the rest of the teams. In addition, in the midst of a fantastic night, attacker Nathan Tella took home the ball after scoring a hat-trick.
The team led by Belgian Vincent Kompany is at the top of the Championship with 68 points from 20 wins, 8 draws and 2 defeats. For this new Burnley vs Watford clash, the leaders will be expected to continue to show why they have the talent to be in the most competitive league in world soccer next season.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Arijanet Murić; Connor Roberts, Hjalmar Ekdal, Jordan Beyer, Ian Maatsen; Josh Cullen, Jóhann Guðmundsson; Nathan Tella, Josh Brownhill, Anass Zaroury; Ashley Barnes.
Betting on Watford FC
The Hornets, currently ranked sixth in the Championship, will be playing on the road in the Burnley vs Watford match. The team, led by Slaven Bilić, has won 12 matches, drawn 10, and lost nine this season.
In the last five matchdays, Watford has only won one game, coming into this match needing a win after four unsuccessful games. In their last match against Blackburn Rovers, they drew 1-1, with Wesley Hoedt scoring in the 74th minute. Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers are closely behind, trailing by just one point, so Watford cannot afford to give away any more advantages.
Possible lineup (4-4-1-1): Daniel Bachmann; Mario Gaspar, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Hassane Kamara; Matheus Martins, Ismael Koné, Hamza Choudhury, Ismaïla Sarr; João Pedro, Henrique Araújo.
JefeBet Prediction
Given their recent results, we believe that the home side will take all three points in this Burnley vs Watford.
The Burnley team is so far the one that has had the best games all season and today is one of the favorites to be promoted. Their unblemished results and unbeaten streak, which today completes 10 matches without defeat, along with their home advantage, will put a lot of pressure on a battered Watford.
Prediction: Burnley win 3-1.
