Watford Preston North End betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a tendency to be balanced, since it puts in the field two very organized and competent teams in the offensive process. However, and as they play at home, we believe Watford will dominate and enjoy the best opportunities to score goals. In addition, it should be noted that the home team won 5 of the 6 games played at their stadium. Taking into account these details, betting in favor of the home win is a good option.

Preview
Watford and Preston North End meet at Vicarage Road, in a match for the 14th round of the Championship. There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 25‑08‑2015 and ended with the final score: Preston North End (1‑0) Watford. Although this is a match between 5th and 15th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 2nd best in home matches and the 2nd best in away matches.

Analysis Watford

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 23 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Queens Park Rangers, by (1‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Bristol City, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 7 points in away matches, with 3 goals scored and 4 conceded, against 16 points won at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 6 conceded.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 6 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Watford arrive for this match with a goalless draw at Bristol City, registering the fourth straight game without losing in this competition. It should be noted that the home team lost only 2 of the 13 games played in the Championship. In this reception to Preston North End, coach Vladimir Ivic should privilege the maintenance of ball possession and the paused attacks, however, in some moments of the match the team should act in the counterattack. João Pedro is the top scorer of this Watford team, with 4 goals scored. Out of this game is Isaac Success due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Jeremy Ngakia, Christian Kabasele, Kiko Femenía, Craig Cathcart, Domingos Quina, James Garner, Nathaniel Chalobah, Andre Gray, Ismaila Sarr.
Coach: T. Deeney, S. Bilić.

Analysis Preston

The away team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 5 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Sheffield Wednesday, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Blackburn Rovers, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 3 at their stadium, with 2 goals scored and 10 conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (2‑1) against Rotherham United. In the last 6 away league matches Preston North End has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 13 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Preston North End come to this round with a 0-3 home defeat to Blackburn, thus registering the second defeat in the last three games played in this competition. On this trip to the Watford arena, manager Alex Neil should maintain his 4-2-3-1 tactical formation, privileging his block organization and quick transitions. Left-winger Scott Sinclair is the player who deserves to be highlighted in Preston North End, with 5 goals. For this match the coach won't count on Joe Rafferty, suspended, in addition to Andrew Hughes and Ben Davies, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Declan Rudd, Patrick Bauer, Ben Davies, Jordan Storey, Ben Pearson, Daniel Johnson, Brad Potts, Scott Sinclair, Tom Barkhuizen, Sean Maguire, Emil Riis.
