Wolverhampton Wanderers - Watford betting tips and odds

Wolverhampton Wanderers are easily the favourites in the match this Thursday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.86 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Watford may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

Watford appear severely unprepared for a clash with Wolves, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 5.10 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Few bookmakers and Premier League betting predictions saw Wolves’s defeat in the previous round coming. The edge they had in terms of betting odds was not insurmountable, but losing both halves with a 0:2 goal difference is an unexpected level of disappointment.

In their previous outing, Watford didn’t have much of a chance despite the home-field advantage. They were up against Arsenal, a far stronger team, who snagged a lead in the first half and strolled their way to a 2:3.

The Wanderers fans are hoping for a better showing than what they’ve been given lately. Namely, their team is on a 3-game losing streak.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

The season hasn’t been going great for Watford. They’re stuck at 19th place, well within the relegation zone. To make things worse, their chances of earning points against Wolves are not great either.

It will be interesting to see if Watford manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with The Wanderers this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.68. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
