Wolves vs Watford Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday afternoon, a relegation cracker is on the program in the Premier League, because in the Molineux, number nineteen of the Wolverhampton league will compete against number twenty Watford. Both teams have not won a single league game and will not want to lose this weekend.
Wolverhampton:
Wolverhampton turned a great season as a PhD candidate last season with the qualification for the Europa League. As the Wolves are reasonably wealthy, they were able to retain all seasoners from last season this summer, so Wolverhampton is expected to have even more this season. For the time being, however, Nuno Espírito Santo cannot convince with his team and Wolverhampton is therefore in a disappointing nineteenth place in the Premier League. The Wolves only took four points in the Premier League and that happened by playing a draw four times already. The other two league matches, the one against Everton (3-2) and Chelsea (2-5), were both lost for the number seven of last season.
Last weekend Wolverhampton played a 1-1 draw at the Crystal Palace and that in itself was not a bad result for the Wolves, because every team has a hard time at Selhurst Park. On Wednesday-evening, Wolverhampton, which clearly has problems with the double program, also played 1-1 draws in the Carabao Cup against Reading. Eventually the club from the industrial city managed to qualify for the next round, because the Wolves were better at taking penalties. The fact is that Wolverhampton has not won five games in a row now, but there are certainly opportunities for the team of Santo against Watford.
Watford:
Hekkensluiter Watford only managed to score two points in six games and recently put coach Javi Gracia on the street. Under the new manager Quique Sánchez Flores, Watford has to take the road up and that also happened during the Spaniard’s first game, because then Watford managed to keep Arsenal at a 2-2 draw in his own house. As a result of that draw, Watford traveled confidently to Manchester last week to take on Manchester City. Secretly, The Hornets were hoping for a stunt at Etihad Stadium, but it was a slaughter and Watford was already trailing 5-0 after eighteen minutes. Eventually the counter stopped at eight goals from Manchester City and at Watford they were happy that it remained “only” 8-0 in Etihad. It was Watford’s biggest defeat in professional football ever.
Due to the heavy defeat in Manchester, Watford now has a goal difference of -14 and The Hornets have two points less than Wolverhampton. In short: Watford should get a good result on Saturday afternoon. The Hornets booked a good result earlier this week in the Carbao Cup, as Swansea City was beaten 2-1 on Vicarage Road on Tuesday-evening. Because of that victory, Watford gets a few fewer remarks about the 8-0 defeat of last Saturday in the run-up to the relegation cracker with Wolverhampton, but The Hornets will not have much confidence at the moment. Watford has not won ten league games in a row and also in the Molineux it is a difficult story to grab three points.
