Watford vs Tottenham Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Watford vs Tottenham betting tips and predictions for the New Year’s Day Premier League match plus team news, head to head stats and the best odds for each bet.

 

Tottenham ended 2016 in style, but can they follow on from that with a win at Watford? They’ll be desperate to take advantage of Saturday’s big top four clash, but they’ll need to break down the Hornets first.

 

Watford vs Tottenham Predictions

 

Tottenham had a fantastic 2016, taking more Premier League points than they had in any other calendar year. It was certainly a strong finish for Mauricio Pochettino, as they won 4-1 at his former club Southampton. However, can they claim all three points in the first top flight match of 2017? A victory here could really boost their hopes of Champions League football. 

 

Watford have managed to win just two of their last eight, but they are a much better side at home than away. They’ve failed to score here just once this season, but they’ve been conceding far too many goals in front of their own fans. They’ve let in 1.44 goals per game at home this term, with just one clean sheet. That’s not a good sign for them, since Spurs have 14 goals in their last five matches.

 

The visitors have just two clean sheets in their last eight in the league, so it’s easy to see both sides finding the net here. Spurs’ high scoring nature has seen six of their last seven games see over 2.5 goals. We’re backing BTTS and over 2.5 for our first Watford vs Tottenham betting tip, that’s priced at 6/4 with Coral.

 

It’s easy to see this one being high scoring, given that Spurs have hit two or more in their last three league games. That’s also prompted us to back over 1.5 Tottenham goals at 17/20 with William Hill for our second Watford vs Tottenham prediction, especially given how open the Hornets have been here lately.

 

Watford vs Spurs Team News

Tottenham head here without Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen at the back, with those two both suspended. Watford have quite a few absentees for this game, including Roberto Pereyra, Daryl Janmaat and Miguel Britos.

 

Watford vs Tottenham Head to Head Stats
