Watford v Sunderland Betting Preview – Premier League 1st April 3.00pm
There probably won’t be much to choose between these two at Vicarage Road where the last three meetings between the pair of them have ended in a draw. Watford have struggled over the second half of the season to pick up wins and like Sunderland, they are winless in their last four top-flight games. Sunderland desperately needs to find three points from somewhere in this game.

Watford v Sunderland Betting Tips
Things haven’t been going well for the Hornets for a while now in the Premier League. They have picked up just the two wins in their last thirteen Premier League and both of those wins were 2-1 victories and a Watford 2-1 correct score wager at Bet365 returns a price of 17/2 for this one. The head to head between Watford and Sunderland are even over their five previous Premier League meetings, with one win each and three draws. So expect this to be tight. The Hornets have posted a W5 D4 L5 record at Vicarage Road this season but have won only one of their last five there (W1 D3 L1). Troy Deeney is 6/4 favourite in the Bet365 anytime goalscorer market and Watford needs some revenge for a 1-0 defeat they suffered at Sunderland earlier in the season. With three defeats and just one point gained in their last four league matches, even that looks in doubt. If Watford wins it, they’ll already equal their best tally of Premier League home wins in a single Premier League season (six; set in 2015-16).
On Saturday, Sunderland will have spent 91% of their time this season in the bottom three. The Black Cats are looking pretty doomed now and they start the weekend seven points away from safety. They have tanked for just one point in their last four matches in the top flight and they have managed just the one win in their last eleven. The win in that sequence happened out on the road though, when they stunned Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park back in February. They have only collected two away wins all term, though, losing ten of their thirteen played away from the Stadium of Light. Sunderland have failed to score in six of their last seven league games now. Jermain Defoe is a 6/4 anytime goalscorer option for this one but he has failed to score in four previous Premier League appearances against Watford though. Sunderland have failed to score in seven of their last eleven games out on the road and under 2.5 goals at Bet365 is a quote of 7/10 while a 0-0 Correct Score may have appeal at 8/1.
