Watford v Liverpool Predictions

 

Thanks to Leicester City's remarkable exploits at the top of the table, Watford have been steadily flying under the radar so far this campaign. New manager Quique Flores has certainly hit the ground running in his debut season, and his Watford side now sit as high as seventh in the table thanks to a run of five wins in their last seven matches. 

 

Whilst the likes of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo will rightfully receive most of the plaudits for their excellent form in the final third, a lot of credit has to go to The Hornets defence as well. Watford have in fact got the sixth best defensive record in the division at present, better than Manchester City, Southampton, and this weekend’s opponents Liverpool. 

 

Jurgen Klopp's side head south this weekend off the back of a disappointing couple of results. The Reds had previously recorded back to back wins against Manchester City and Swansea, but in true Liverpool style, then went on to slip up in games they were expected to win. Although, the loss at Newcastle was slightly unfortunate, last weekend's draw at home to West Brom will have left a particularly sour taste in the mouth following several missed chances and a nasty injury to Dejan Lovren. 

 

Nevertheless, Liverpool do remain strong on their travels in recent games and have already recorded away wins at the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton. Although the latter result came in the League Cup, a 6-1 scoreline against a full-strength Saints side at St Mary's certainly highlights the potential dangers ahead for Watford this weekend. 

 

Heading into the match and the latest Watford vs Liverpool odds Watford are heavy underdogs at a best price of 10/3. Liverpool can be backed at even money, with the draw on offer at 13/5.

 

This is not the easiest result to call for my football predictions as the hosts are certainly the team in form, but if Liverpool turn up, they could quite easily run away comfortable winners. The problem with Jurgen Klopp's side is that you never know when this is going to be. However, based on their recent away results as stated above, I fancy The Reds to come out on top. 

 

With odds of even money not offering much value on such a game, have a punt on the match to be drawn at half-time and Liverpool to win at full-time which is available at a decent price of 17/4 with Bet Victor. Eight of Liverpool's last nine games have been tied at the break, as well as seven of their last eight away matches.

 

My first Watford v Liverpool prediction is for a draw at HT and Liverpool to win at FT, the best odds for this tip are 17/4 at Bet Victor.

Heading over to the goalscoring and man of the match markets, and of Philippe Coutinho's six Premier League goals this season, five of them have come away from home. The Brazillian international is easily Liverpool's best player and is generally at the heart of most of their good play. Therefore, for my second Watford v Liverpool prediction I’m going to back Coutinho to score at anytime in 90 minutes at 13/5 with Bet365 and also pick up the man of the match award at 8/1 with Bet Victor
