Watford vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
The international break is over and the Premier League starts in the 13th matchday. On Saturday, 24.11. Watford FC receives the championship contender from Liverpool. At 15:00 German time the “Hornets” fight on the Vicarage Road for important three points. A threesome and the distance to fifth place would initially shrink to just one counter. Behind them latches Manchester United, which makes a point win against the Reds all the more important. The Klopp team has to win to keep up with Manchester City. If they win, they will even be in the lead of the standings, should the Skyblues lose against West Ham United, surprisingly. Not only the neutral spectator, the bookmakers see the role of favorites clearly on the side of the Reds.
Watford:
Watford was a surprise surprise team early in the season. Many experts had the Gracia Elf on the list when it came to naming a supposed underdog who could play up. At the beginning, they also scored five straight wins in a row. But the success eased and it followed five games without victory. Now, since the end of October, the tide has again turned a little in favor of the “Hornets”. Two wins, one draw and one defeat were recorded. The most obvious weakness of the Gracia Elf is the offensive department. 17 hits are the worst value in the top 10. If you want to catch up with the top teams, there is a need for action. In the last six matches only six goals have been scored. To play in the top of the big leagues, you need more than a ratio of just one average goal per game. Whether they score against Liverpool is questionable, the “Reds” but have the best defensive value of the league. Gracia has to renounce Younes Kaboul, Tom Cleverley, Sebastian Prödl and Pontus Dahlberg.
Liverpool:
Jürgen Klopp and his team are in second place in the Premier League. Unlike Watford, the Liverpoolers have no problem getting the ball into the opponent’s case. They have scored at least one goal in five of their last six games. Despite Mané, Salah and Firmino the defense is the guarantor of success. Since the signing of Virgil Van Dijk, the defensive “Reds” has become much more compact. Just five goals conceded in the first twelve matchdays. Most recently, however, the Schlendrian crept in a bit. Is it the exhaustion, maybe a certain arrogance or is it the strength of the opponents? The fact is that Liverpool have always conceded at least one goal in three of the last four games. Only against the bottom of the table Fulham was the zero.
Jürgen Klopp would be well advised to provide more stability in the upcoming match despite the relatively short preparation time. The fact that Liverpool have become more susceptible to goals has also been recognized by the bookies. At Watford Vs. Liverpool will offer betting odds of just 1.70 on “hit both teams: yes”. This is a clear indication that Watford is able to score against the otherwise good defense. Jürgen Klopp has to do without Jordan Henderson, Rhian Brewster and Alex Oxlade-Camberlain.
