Watford - Preston North End predictions

Watford are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.15 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Preston North End may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Preston who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The hosts returned from their most recent Championship trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and Watford can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

Preston lost to Birmingham City in the previous round with a one-goal difference in the final scores. To be frank, the narrow result and the fact that they staved off defeat until the late game are implying that they performed better than most of us expected.

Preston seem to take on a rather passive role whenever they play as visitors. Records show two consecutive matches that featured less than 2 total goals between them and their opponents.

According to the recent head-to-head records, already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 2.15 odds on a home win.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 2.15 odds offered at William Hill are worth it.
