Brighton & Hove Albion Watford betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals. Brighton & Hove Albion have an ineffective attack that scored just 27 goals in 24 rounds, scored only 3 goals in the last 4 Premier league games and 2 of them finished with only 1 goal on the scoreboard. Watford, on the other hand, have presented great defensive performance in the away games where they have the fifth worst defense and usually hold attacks of poor quality very well. Given these factors, we believe in a game without great emotions, with Watford more closed and taking advantage of counterattacks, and few goals.

Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion and Watford meet at The American Express Community Stadium, in a match for the 25th round of the Premier League. Watford got a home win by (2‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 11‑08‑2018. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Brighton

After 7 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses, the home team is in the 13th position, havinf won 26 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Fulham by (4‑2), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑1) an away match against Manchester United. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. For the league, Brighton & Hove Albion won 15 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Brighton & Hove Albion have dropped a lot of income in the last few rounds, coming from 4 games without winning, losing their last 3 matches and looking for a recovery as they lost several positions with this recent series of bad results. The team needs to improve both in the offensive and defensive sectors, having scored 27 goals, being the eighth worst attack of the competition, and suffered 36 goals, with the eighth most leaked defense, needing to find their best football in both sectors to rise again in the standings.
Playing at home, as the match on Saturday, Brighton & Hove Albion have dropped of income, won only 1 of their last 4 games and it is worth noting that conceded goals in 5 of the last 6 matches in this type of situation.
For the clash against Watford, coach Hughton will not be able to count on defender Dunk due to suspension.

Analysis Watford

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 33 points won, after 9 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Burnley, by (0‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Tottenham Hotspur, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Watford has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 30 possible. 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 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Watford make a reasonable campaign in the Premier League, saw their series of 4 games without losing to end in the last round where Tottenham turned the score around in the last minutes and go in search of the 3 points to climb again in the standings. The team need to be more efficient both offensive and defensively, having scored 33 goals, being only the ninth best attack of the competition, and suffered 34 goals, having the tenth worst defense and it is worth mentioning that 5 of the last 6 Premier League matches had goals from both sides. 
Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Watford have risen in yield, lost only 1 of their last 5 games and it is worth mentioning that they have the fifth less leaked defense in the away games with only 14 goals conceded in 11 games, a great number considering that they are away games. 
For the game against Brighton & Hove Albion, coach Javi Gracia has no problems in the team that has been playing in recent games and should repeat the line-up of the last rounds.
