Betting on Watford
The last three matches have knocked Watford out of the run for a shot at the Premier League. The team lost to Cardiff City and Hull City, and then, it only managed to reach a draw against Sunderland. Now, the team is eight points away from the Playoffs, which means the team’s fanbase is looking back at those missed opportunities with regret.
Tom Dele-Bashiru, Tom Cleverley, Kortney Hause, Francisco Sierralta, Edo Kayembe, Dan Gosling, and Britt Assombalonga are the players who may miss out on the final match of the season.
Playing at home, Watford has secured 10 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses, scoring 33 goals and conceding 23.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Daniel Bachmann; Ryan Andrews, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Hassane Kamara; Hamza Choudhury; Ismaïla Sarr, Ismael Koné, Imrân Louza, João Pedro; Keinan Davis.
Betting on Stoke City
Stoke City is wrapping up its Championship performance with a terrible run of six winless games. The last time the team managed to secure three points was on April 1st, when it won 4-0 away at Coventry.
Ahead of this match, Matja Sarkic, Jacob Brown, Ben Wilmot, and Axel Tuanzebe are the players that suffered physical problems for Alex Neil’s team.
Playing away, Stoke City has recorded 8 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, with 30 goals scored and 25 conceded.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Jack Bonham; Connor Taylor, Phil Jagielka, Morgan Fox; Will Smallbone, Josh Laurent, Ki-Jana Hoever, Josh Tymon, Ben Pearson; Tyrese Campbell, Dwight Gayle.
JefeBet Prediction
In the first round of the tournament, Watford crushed Stoke City 4-0 away, so the Potters will definitely be seeking revenge. At JefeBet, we believe we will see an open game with several goals, so the most appealing bet is the Over (2.5).
Prediction: Over (WAT 2-1 STO)
