Leeds United - Watford betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.83, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Watford appear severely unprepared for a clash with Leeds United, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.50 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The Whites are looking to bounce back from a disappointing trip to Hull City in the last round of the Championship. Had they secured the first-half lead, things would have been much different. Instead, they struggled to break through and were forced to settle for a mere point.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Championship game and win the bout, finishing 2:2 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

The Whites have registered 7 goals in their three previous games, so we can expect a lot of action this Saturday.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Watford in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.95. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
