Stoke City - Watford betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, Stoke City will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.70 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Watford are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

The previous round was fairly uneventful for both Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers , the opposing home team. Considering an away win was priced at 2.35 with most top online bookies, however, a 0:0 draw is a positive result for Stoke.

Watford had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 4.00 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 2:2 draw.

With 6 goals in The Hornets’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Stoke City secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

It’s a tough match to find betting value, but there are options to be found. For example, a Draw/Draw prediction for the HT/FT market rates quite well at odds of 1. It’s not what we would call a safe bet, but compares quite well in terms of value.
