Watford v Sunderland betting tips and Premier League predictions for this weekend’s clash taking place on Sunday 15th May 2016, kick-off time 3:00pm.
Sunderland have ensured their Premier League safety as they travel to Watford for the last game of the season and our football tipster has picked out the three best betting tips – will Sam Allardyce’s hangover have cured before this kick-off?
Watford vs Sunderland Predictions
Sunderland’s 3-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday night means they are playing Premier League football again next season after that win consigned Norwich City and arch rivals Newcastle United to relegation. A great achievement for a team that has actually spent more time in the drop zone this season than bottom placed Aston Villa. They were always the most likely to stay up, with Newcastle leaving it far too late to change things and Norwich ultimately not being able to score anywhere near enough goals to make a proper fist of it, and Sam Allardyce continues his record of never being relegated as a manager. The Black Cats hit form when they needed to most, they’re unbeaten in their last five games and have only lost one of their last ten in a run that included vital wins over Norwich and Chelsea, and what could’ve been a must win game is now nothing more than a dead rubber with neither side having much to play for now.
Allardyce has no injury or suspension concerns going into this one, though he may rest a few after the tough few weeks his players have had.
Watford have announced that manager Quique Sanchez Flores will leave the club at the end of the season. From the outside it seems a strange move with Sanchez Flores leading them to a safe Premier League position and he has the best record of any Watford manager in the top flight. They started the season in great style, but Watford fans will point to the fact that the Hornets’ second half of the season has been poor and a fresh approach is needed. Well it worked for Leicester…
In his last game in charge, Flores is missing Valon Behrami and Etienne Capoue. Tommy Hoban has missed most of the season and it’s unlikely he’ll feature here along with Joel Ekstrand.
It’s possible that a win here could see the Hornet’s finish in 11th place, which makes Flores’ dismissal even more strange. Still, this game does have a feel of a boring end of season fixture and for that reason my first Watford vs Sunderland prediction is for this game to end in a draw. The best odds are with Betfred who are offering 11/4.

With injury ruling Danny Welbeck out of the England squad for the upcoming European Championships, there’s talk of Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe having an outside chance of making Roy Hodgson’s 23. A good game here then who knows…he’s my anytime goalscorer tip to get on the scoresheet at Vicarage Road. My second Watford vs Sunderland prediction is for Defoe to score anytime; the best odds are with 888sport who have the bet at 24/13.

So I’m expecting a goal but not too many. I don’t think either side will go all out for this and so my final Premier League prediction for the match is for this to end in a 1-1 draw. The best odds of 13/2 can be found at Bet365.
