Watford - Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Watford winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Brighton & Hove Albion, which is made quite clear with the 3.75 odds offered for a home win result.

With a price of 2.20 on them winning, The Seagulls should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Watford are coming off from a West Ham United away defeat in the last round of the Premier League. It was a difficult game for them but it’s fair to say they managed to beat the odds in a way. Having been made overwhelming underdogs, they weren’t really expected to hold the terms level for the entire 45 minutes and go down with only a one-goal difference.

Brighton played at Leicester City in the previous round, and top online bookies gave them odds of 2.85 to win. After a deadlock that couldn’t be broken for most of the game, the final result was a 1:1 draw.

Watford fans at Vicarage Road Stadium have seen a lot of concessions lately – 8 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

With 3 consecutive draws, a bit of a trend seems to be emerging for Albion. Thankfully, they still have a chance to offer a more decisive performance this time around.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Brighton already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the bet365 priced at 1.67 odds.
