Watford v Arsenal Betting Tips, Predictions and Preview

Watford v Arsenal predictions and football betting tips for this weekend’s Premier League football and the best odds for our three football tips.

 

The Premier League returns this weekend following the international break and our football tipster has picked his best three football bet tips for Watford v Arsenal. Some clubs have not fared so well during the break, injuries to players have caused several managers selection problems.

 

Watford v Arsenal Predictions

 

Watford have several injury concerns ahead of the clash with Arsenal. Defensive duo Lloyd Doyley and Joel Ekstrand are both facing lengthy spells on the sidelines. José Jurado is also expected to be out for a few weeks after a hamstring injury whilst Ikechi Anya will miss the arsenal match due to a calf strain.

 

Arsenal came through the international break unscathed and have no fresh injury concerns. Laurent Koscienly faces a race to be fit following his hamstring problems and Gabriel is expected to fill in following his one game suspension. Long-term casualties include Jack Wilshere and Tomas Rosicky.

 

Watford will be hoping for a piece of history when the face the Gunners. Looking at the Watford v Arsenal head-to-head stats, the Hornets have faced Arsenal four times in the Premier League and have failed to pick up a single point. To add further misery on Watford fans they have never won a Premier League game in the month of October.

 

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores will be hoping to change that and carve a piece of history for the club. In all of the clubs October matches they have drawn four and lost five… 10th times a charm. The last time the two clubs met Robin van Persie sunk them with a late goal to earn his side a 2-1 win.

 

Arsenal are in form and striker Theo Walcott has an impressive 12 goals and three assists in his last 14 league starts, if he fails the find the net then Alexis Sanchez will surely pick up the slack. The Chilean has five goals in his last two matches and is in deadly form.

 

My first Watford v Arsenal prediction is for Alexis Sanchez to score first, the odds are 7/2 with William Hill, if he scores second you’ll get a refund under their ‘2^nd chance’ offer.

Unlike Arsenal, Watford are struggling to find the target. Their last five goals have come from one single man, Odion Ighalo, and a team cannot survive on the shoulders of one player. To make matters worse the Hornets are leading the league in only two aspects, lowest conversion rate (8.6%) of shots to goals and lowest shooting accuracy (34.3%).

 

Those stats lead me onto a correct score prediction and it looks like another convincing Arsenal win this weekend, my second Watford v Arsenal betting tip is for Arsenal to win 3-0, tbe best odds are 11/1 with Paddy Power.

Even though Watford are lacklustre in front of goal they are currently 12th in the league going into the weekend six points above the bottom three, a lot of the praise has to go to the defence, which will be tested on Saturday. Arsenal, on the other hand, sit second and will be hoping to push on as they mount a title challenge.

 

Arsenal are the clear favourites going into this one and rightly so. My third football betting tip for Watford v Arsenal is Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals at 5/4 with Paddy Power.
