Middlesbrough - Watford predictions

With the 1.62 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Watford, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Watford stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.50, marking an insurmountable difference.

Middlesbrough are coming off from a harsh home defeat (3:1). Considering the difficult match-up against Sheffield United and the home-field disadvantage, the result was entirely predictable, even after the draw at half-time.

Watford are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Leeds United. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 10.00 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:4.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Boro will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Watford once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.73 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
