Watford vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
Watford and Tottenham Hotspur have the honor to kick off a new round in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. On Vicarage Road, Tottenham hopes to grab three points against a Watford that has been unbeaten for six consecutive games.
Watford:
Nigel Pearson’s Watford is in seventeenth place in the Premier League. The Englishman has not been with The Hornets for very long, but has already left his mark on Watford. Among Pearson’s two predecessors this season, Spaniards Javi Gracia and Quique Sánchez Flores, Watford was the big favorite to relegate to the Championship. The Watford supporters, on the other hand, now have the idea that their club might be able to sustain themselves under Pearson.
Although Watford is only one point above the line in the Premier League, it has already been unbeaten for six consecutive games. Five of those six games were played in the Premier League, and those duels earned Watford four wins and a draw. In short: in the last few weeks, Watford grabs points and against Tottenham Hotspur, Watford is certainly not in a chance. Nearly four weeks ago, Watford, for example, still managed to beat Manchester United 2-0 in his own home, which this season can be compared to Tottenham Hotspur. Actually, Watford would play the replay on Tuesday-evening in the FA Cup while visiting Tranmere Rovers, but the poor field at Prenton Park canceled that game. That game will now be played on Thursday-evening next week, while Watford will also have to visit competitor Aston Villa next Tuesday-evening in the Premier League. Next Saturday, a home game with Everton will be waiting, so a busy week for Pearson and men follows.
Tottenham Hotspur:
For Tottenham Hotspur, only three points on Vicarage Road count on Saturday afternoon. The Spurs are in eighth place in the Premier League and are not satisfied with that. Last season Tottenham finished in fourth place and therefore it plays in the Champions League this season. Nevertheless, the chance seems small that the Spurs will also be active in the Champions League next season, as Tottenham is already nine points behind number four Chelsea. It is impossible to bridge that gap, but the team of José Mourinho is not really convincing among the Portuguese.
After four games without a win, the Spurs stepped out again this week as winners. In the FA Cup tournament, Tottenham took on Tuesday-evening against Championship-club Middlesbrough. The Spurs won the game 2-1 and are therefore one round further. In Middlesbrough, the game ended two weeks ago in a 1-1 draw, but in London there was a winner. After fifteen minutes of football, Tottenham even led 2-0 against Boro, which made the connection goal in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before time. It is now up to Tottenham to continue the victory over Middlesbrough against Watford, as the Spurs are already waiting three league games for a three point.
At the Spurs they seem to lose Christian Eriksen in the short term. The Danish playmaker does not want to extend his contract in North London and is likely to leave this transfer period to Internazionale. Eriksen was whistled out by Tottenham supporters in recent games, but we must not forget that the Dane has been very important to the Spurs in recent years. By renting Gedson Fernandes, Tottenham has already responded to the serious injury that Moussa Sissoko recently sustained. The Portuguese defensive midfielder is initially rented from Benfica for a year and a half.
