Watford Liverpool betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that both teams will score at least one goal. Despite playing as the away team, Liverpool clearly has got more arguments, so they should be able to score. But despite its weaknesses, Watford has scored regularly in the last matches, so we believe they are likely to score too.

Preview
Watford and Liverpool meet at Vicarage Road, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 13‑01‑2007 and ended with the final score: Watford (0‑3) Liverpool. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Watford

After 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, the home team is in the 7th position, havinf won 25 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Sunderland by (0‑1), after in the previous match they have won (2‑0) at home, against Norwich City. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 10 conceded. For the league, Watford won 11 points out of 24 possible points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 8 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 6 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 9 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 4 of their 6 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Watford comes to this match after a series of 3 consecutive wins, so they are clearly in a good form moment. In this match their goal will be to add another win to this positive sequence. Coach Quique Flores should use the usual 4-4-2 formation, with Ighalo and Deeney in the most forward positions. Nigerian Ighalo is the best scorer of the team, with 10 goals scored this season. In this match Behrami, Prodl, Hoban and Ekstrand will not be available, due to injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Heurelho Gomes, Allan Nyom, Nathan Aké, Craig Cathcart, Miguel Britos, Ben Watson, Almen Abdi, Étienne Capoue, José Jurado, Odion Ighalo.
Coach: T. Deeney.

Analysis Liverpool

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Newcastle United, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against West Bromwich Albion, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Liverpool has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 8 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 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Liverpool is going through a negative form moment and haven’t won any of the last 3 matches. Therefore, coach Jurgen Klopp’s goal is to start winning again, so we expect him to present an offensive strategy for this match. The best scorer of the team is Coutinho, with 5 goals scored this season. Unavailable due to injuries are Sturridge, Sakho, Flanagan, Joe Gomez and Danny Ings.

Confirmed Lineup: Ádám Bogdán, Nathaniel Clyne, Alberto Moreno, Martin Škrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Lucas Leiva, Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino.
