Watford - Leeds United betting tips and odds

Though Watford definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Leeds United are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, The Peacocks 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.

The Hornets’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Liverpool as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for The Hornets.

Leeds’s lead at half-time of their previous home game gave them hope for a surprise victory. Unfortunately, their opponents Southampton managed to salvage a 1:1 draw before the end.

The first step Watford need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for The Peacocks. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Watford find themselves at number 18th on the league table, which is well within the relegation zone. Most betting predictions agree that this match can go either way, but they’ll be desperate to get to the 0 points they need.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with The Peacocks winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.04, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
