Watford - Stoke City betting tips and odds

With 2.40 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Watford who should end up victorious in the end against Stoke City.

The 2.95 away win betting odds indicate that Stoke are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Although the previous match against Sunderland ended in a 2:2 draw for Watford, their performance was admirable, especially in the first half. To illustrate just how unbalanced the match was - The Hornets played as visitors, while the odds on a home win were 1.79.

The visiting team lost their most recent Championship engagement despite playing it at home, though the Championship betting odds implied that the game could have gone either way. The scores were at a relatively predictable deadlock for more than half the match, but The Potters eventually fell behind and had to settle for a 0:1 defeat.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Hornets will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Stoke’s matches tend to avoid excitement. For example, their previous 2 home games ended with less than 1 goal in total at the final whistle.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with The Hornets taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

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

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
