Watford - Preston North End Predictions Season 2024/25

Watford - Preston North End predictions

Kickoff starts at 20:45 on 21/01/2025 played @ Vicarage Road Stadium refereed by Tom Nield

Though we can call Watford the favourites in this matchup, Preston North End are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

It would be a minor miracle for Preston North End to win at , and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.66 price on most online sportsbooks.

What everyone expected to be a tightly-contested affair turned into a one-sided match as recorded a convincing Derby County away win in the last round of the Championship. With an HT/FT victory like this in the bag, the hosts will be highly motivated ahead of Tuesday.

Looking at the away team’s previous matchup, records show a draw on both halftime and the final whistle. Considering most bookies heavily favoured their opponents Luton Town and the home-field advantage they had, Preston can be content with such an outcome.

Watford haven’t let a game pass them by without scoring for the past seven rounds, so this match is not likely to be any different.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and The Lilywhites carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Watford as somewhat more likely to win.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Our research suggests that Both Teams to Score is a very probable outcome for this match. It’s offered at odds of 1 at 1xbet, which is fairly strong in terms of value as well. BTTS is both safe and valuable here – what’s not to like?

Betting tip (stake: 7/10): BTTS 1 at 1xbet
