Watford - Brentford betting tips and odds

Watford have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Brentford. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Brentford would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

A heavy defeat was not what the home crowd expected from their team last time out. However, Watford went behind early and succumbed to a Leeds United thrashing which now puts hosts under a lot of pressure ahead of the Saturday clash. They will be keen to bounce back and it remains to be seen whether their confidence did not suffer too much.

The Bees snagged a stunning 2:0 victory against West Ham United in the last round. The match-up was quite tough for The Bees despite the home-field advantage, so the victory is not something most betting predictions saw coming.

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

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

Brentford won the home game they played against The Bees earlier in the season. The victory was relatively narrow as well, but they’re still expected to win this clash on Saturday by most online bookmakers.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.14 odds offered at Betsson.
