Watford vs Swansea Prediction & Betting tips
As a Table Premier of the Premier League had the Hornets in the away game against Manchester City not very high hopes of a point win. Already the bookmaker’s prices made clear the clear favorite position of the reigning champion and title favorite from Manchester. The guests from Watford were already cleared after 18 minutes by the Citizens and conceded five goals.
Avoiding a double-digit defeat after the clear early leadership of the Citizens was the only consolation for Watford on Saturday afternoon. During the week, the Hornets are now in the EFL Cup. In the round of the last 32 Watford meets Swansea City and is according to odds in the role of favorite. Does a tip on the Hornets but also from?
The EFL Cup is unlikely to be held in high regard by many Premier League teams, so it remains to be seen if Watford would rather send the second guard into the cup match against Swansea after the short recovery period. We do not exclude a surprise of the current second division on Tuesday evening.
Watford:
Norwich City made headlines with a 3-1 win over Manchester City. After the first Premier League defeat of the Citizens but was also clear that on Matchday can be expected with a defiance of the Master. With 8: 0, the Hornets ultimately came under the wheels and continue to keep the red lantern after the sixth matchday.
For the bottom of the Premier League it is not yet round. Only two points were in the season for the Hornets. After the recent debacle Watford sets with 18 goals the worst defensive of the Premier League. In this competitive season held the Hornets so far only in the EFL Cup against Coventry the zero.
Surprisingly, Watford split from Javi Gracia in early September. The former coach of the Hornets led the team last season in the FA Cup final. There was also a solid placement in the middle of the table. The early decision of a change of coach could cost the Hornets dearly.
Quique Sanches Flores is no stranger to Watford. The Spaniard was already three years earlier coach in the club. When his coaching incarnation, there was a draw against the Gunners from London – and after a 2-0 deficit in the meantime.
The EFL Cup is the team due to the tight schedule not exactly convenient, especially since the League Cup does not enjoy the highest priority. It remains to be seen, therefore, what start-up decisions Flores will make in the home game against Swansea City. A mix of regular, reserve and youth players seems very likely.
Swansea:
The South Welsh will have presented the season differently after the Premier League descent. The direct resurgence was missed in 2018/19. The tenth place in the table was anything but satisfactory. In this season, it should run better in the championship and after all, the Jacks were able to properly fuel their self-confidence.
After a considerable start to the season, there was only a small period of weakness in the last two games. With 17 points, Swansea leads the table in the championship at the same time as Leeds United. Due to the tight table constellation but any point loss can be punished.
The football under new coach Steve Cooper is quite impressive. The new coach of the Swans had lost in summer with players like Oliver McBurnie and Daniel James equal to two performers on offense. The departures were well compensated.
With twelve goals in the first six league games, the goal exploitation of the “new” Swansea offensive speaks for itself. Only in the last two games, the Swans remained goalless.
The EFL Cup is also not popular with the championship teams. Swansea but celebrated with the League Cup title in the 2012/13 season so far the greatest success in the club’s history and could even qualify for the international competition. After the short recovery time it remains to be seen, however, which starting eleven Cooper will send to the away game against Watford.
