Watford vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers meet each other this weekend in a direct duel in the battle for seventh place. Wolverhampton, the number seven in the Premier League, currently has one point more than number eight Watford and so both clubs can take a giant step to that seventh position this weekend.
Watford:
After 35 games, Watford has fifty points and The Hornets can be satisfied with that. Whatever the case, Watford will end up in the left-hand row of the Premier League, thereby meeting the expectations that Javi Gracia’s team had at the start of the season. The Spaniard is having a good time on the stage with Watford in the Premier League and is also next month with The Hornets in the FA Cup final. In short: Watford can still qualify for European football in two ways and that would be the second time in the club’s history.
During the midweek, Watford suffered an expensive point loss in the battle for seventh place. On Tuesday-evening, Southampton was the opponent on Vicarage Road and after six seconds – a record in the Premier League – Watford fell behind against The Saints. For a long time it seemed that Watford would not have a single point left in the home game with low-flyer Southampton until Andre Gray put the 1-1 on the scoreboard in the final phase. With that he gave Watford an important point. The Hornets now have one point less than Wolverhampton and the Watford goal balance (+0) is also slightly less than the Wolves goal balance (+1). With a win on Saturday afternoon, Watford can take a giant step to seventh place.
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
What Wolverhampton manager Nuno EspĂrito Santo does with the Wolves this season as a PhD candidate is abnormal. The Portuguese team is in seventh place in the Premier League, and no win that Wolverhampton has booked this season has been stolen. At Wolverhampton there is currently a clear vision behind football and that has been delivering great results for a season. The Wolves already knew at the turn of the year that relegation was practically impossible, and Europa League placement seemed to be that too. Everyone in England had expected that the Wolves would still have a considerable relapse, but none of that was proven.
On Wednesday evening, Arsenal was set aside 3-1 in its own Molineux and no one was surprised by that result either. Of course a club like Arsenal must win a visit to Wolverhampton, but Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea also suffered damage at the Wolves earlier in the season. With the 3-1 win against Arsenal, Wolverhampton has now passed the fifty points and the last time a PhD student managed to do it was Birmingham City in the 2009/10 season. For Birmingham, the number of points then fell to exactly fifty, but the Wolves already have 51 and there are also three more duels on the program for the men of Nuno.
