Brighton vs Watford Prediction & Betting tips
The match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Watford is scheduled for Saturday night at the American Express Community Stadium. Watford is under the relegation line and has three points less than Brighton, which is fifteenth in the Premier League.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
For Brighton & Hove Albion it is not yet the season as hoped. The Seagulls are in fifteenth place and that would mean enforcement in the Premier League at the end of the ride. Yet they are not completely satisfied with the current season at Brighton. On the other hand: Brighton was just above the line last season and if The Seagulls are to maintain themselves again this season, they have met expectations.
Although this Brighton can play nice football, it also lacks in a number of areas to actually end up in the Premier League subtop. The Graham Potter team is craving for a victory and that has to happen when Watford is a guest on Saturday night. Brighton did not win the last six games and that is why The Seagulls have not caught a three point this calendar year. Potter’s team has plenty of opportunities against Watford. Brighton started the current Premier League season with a 0-3 win at Watford and that must provide some confidence at The Seagulls in the run-up to the second game with Watford.
Watford:
Watford is in nineteenth place in the Premier League. Manager Nigel Pearson grabs the necessary points with The Hornets since taking office. Still, Pearson is not able to leave the relegation zone and that is not surprising: Watford does not have a great team. With this material, Watford is going to have a hard time in the last three months of this season and relegation of The Hornets is certainly not unthinkable.
Pearson lost the last three games with Watford. Two of them involved Premier League games: Watford lost to Aston Villa (2-1) and Everton (2-3) in recent weeks. Last weekend against Everton, Watford even took a 2-0 lead, and yet The Hornets gave away that lead and were left empty handed after ninety minutes. Everton scored the decisive goal in extra time, something Aston Villa coincidentally did a few days earlier against The Hornets. In the final two league games, therefore, Watford did not manage to stay head-on in the final phase, and as a result, The Hornets remained without points in those duels.
