West Ham United - Watford betting tips and odds

West Ham United are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.42, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Watford will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

West Ham went into their previous Premier League match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Manchester United , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 1:0 defeat in hte end.

Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, the 0:0 result isn’t too bad for The Hornets. They were tied with Burnley throughout the match.

West Ham tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Our confidence in The Hornets and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

West Ham are currently near the top of the ladder with a 5th position. Still, they’ll need to do better if their goal is higher than the Europa League, and this Tuesday offers a great chance to work towards that goal.

The season hasn’t been going great for The Hornets. They’re stuck at 18th place, well within the relegation zone. To make things worse, their chances of earning points against West Ham are not great either.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Premier League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Watford. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1.30 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
