Watford Crystal Palace betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Crystal Palace has a team with various technical and tactical qualities, however, plays away from home, but still should have good chances to achieve a positive result. On the other hand, Watford has shown in recent meetings that it is a difficult formation to finish: they have scored an average of 0.57 goals inside their doors. Thus we believe this game will end with few goals in the final scorer.

The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 2 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the FA Cup, on 16‑03‑2019, Watford won by (2‑1). E. Capoue (27' ) and A. Gray (79' ) scored for Watford and M. Batshuayi (62' ) for Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Watford

The home team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Southampton, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Leicester City, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Watford has a record of 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 21 possible.

They haven’t won any of the last 7 home matches for this competition. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Watford comes unmotivated for this match after a 2-0 loss at Leicester, making it their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League. In this match against Crystal Palace, the coach Hayden Mullins should benefit from the maintenance of the ball possession and the organized attacks, always with the objective of not giving space to his opponent. Hypothetically, we will look at this team in a 4-4-2 formation. Gerard Deulofeu and Andre Gray are Watford's top scorers with 2 goals each. For this match the coach cannot count on Cleverley, Prodl, Janmaat and Welbeck, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Kiko Femenía, Craig Cathcart, Adam Masina, Christian Kabasele, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Étienne Capoue, Roberto Pereyra, Ismaila Sarr, Gerard Deulofeu.
Coach: T. Deeney.

Analysis Crystal Palace

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Burnley, by (0‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against AFC Bournemouth, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 7 away league matches Crystal Palace has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45') and 3 of their 8 goals between (76'‑90').

Crystal Palace comes for this match after a 1-0 win against Bournemouth, thus adding the second consecutive victory in the English championship: the only goal of the match was signed by Jeffrey Schlupp. Coach Roy Hodgson should benefit from the low midblock and counterattacks, making best use of the opponent's back space. The winger Wilfried Zaha is one of the great weapons in this team, being very skilled with the ball in the feet. On the other hand, Jordan Ayew is the best scorer of this team with 4 goals scored. For this journey the coach cannot count on Sakho, punished, as well as Ward, Cahill and Dann, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Guaita, Gary Cahill, James Tomkins, Jeffrey Schlupp, Martin Kelly, James McArthur, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Andros Townsend, Luka Milivojević, Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew.
Coach: R. Hodgson.
