November is the time of year when the table really starts to take shape and a realistic assessment of which sides will be in contention for promotion come May can be made. Both Watford and Leicester have had good starts and should be considered genuine promotion candidates, and this game presents an opportunity for both teams to get a result against a side they will no doubt be battling with for a place in the promised land of English football come the end of the season.

Watford’s form has dipped of late with just one win in their last four outings, coming away at Huddersfield at the start of October. Their most recent home game was a disappointing 3-2 defeat to a resurgent Derby, who have been great on the road and look a dangerous side under new boss Steve McClaren. Leicester on the other hand are one of the divisions form teams, with five wins from the last six, a run which has seen them leapfrog QPR into the second automatic promotion spot at least for the time being, as QPR have a game in hand away to Wigan tonight (Wednesday). Their away form has been decent, the Foxes winning half of their games on the road so far this season, leaving this game nicely set up for the Sky Sports audience on Saturday lunchtime and our Watford v Leicester betting tips.

Leicester will be full of confidence coming into the encounter having dumped Premier League Fulham out of the Carling Cup on Tuesday night scoring four goals in the process, and indeed Saturdays meeting should be an exciting prospect given the two sides form in front of goal this season. Leicester have found the back of the net twice or more in nine of their matches this season to date, whist Watford have managed a league high 25 goals across the first 13 games. Both teams to score is available at 4/6 with Sky Bet, and Totesport offer 8/11 on over 2.5 goals in the game.

Neither side have any fresh injury concerns, and both will be looking to lay down a marker to the rest of the division by winning a game against a side in and around their position in the league. Expect a high tempo, fast paced affair likely to produce goals.

As for who may get them, Leicester front man David Nugent already has seven to his name this term and is available at 6/1 with Bet365 to score the first, and 15/8 to score anytime. Watford’s main man this season has been Troy Deeney and you can back him to score first at 5/1 with Paddy Power, who also offer the best odds on a Deeney goal anytime, at 7/5 and this will be one of our football betting tips. On the face of it this game has goals written all over it, and although nothing is guaranteed in football it is safe to say in a game involving two free flowing attacking teams, this one should live up to its billing.
