Watford v West Brom Betting Tips

Since about mid-December last year, Watford have been struggling to find any kind of consistency. They bagged a 1-0 home win over Sunderland on the weekend to give themselves a boost and that takes their record to W2 D2 L1 in their last five Premier League home fixtures. By the looks of things, this is probably a low-scoring fixture on the cards and under 2.5 goals at William Hill for Watford v West Brom betting is a price of 4/6. Three of the last four between these at Vicarage Road have gone that way, with the last two ending up as draws. Watford have failed to win any of their last four home games against West Brom (D2 L2) and have failed to score in three of those four games. The Hornets actually haven’t won a home league game against West Bromwich Albion since November 1994 (1-0), drawing four and losing four since then. There was a 1-1 draw between these at the Hawthorns earlier in the season and a 1-1 correct score at William Hill for this return fixture is trading at a price of 11/2.

So West Brom do have head to head form in this one, which suggests that they aren’t going to suffer a defeat in the fixture. The Baggies have gone W3 D3 L2 in their last eight Premier League matches now, so they are in decent enough form. They battled their way to a good 0-0 draw up at Old Trafford against Manchester United on the weekend, annoying Jose Mourinho in the process. What will give punters pause, though, is the lack of wins that the Baggies have picked up on the road. They have failed to win any of their last five away games (D3 L2) now in the top flight and overall have won just three away games this season (D6 L6). So they haven’t really clicked into winning gear away from the Hawthorns at any point. In the William Hill anytime goalscorer market, Salomon Rondon is 7/4 outright favourite for the Baggies, while Watford’s Troy Deeney and Stefano Okaka come in as 2/1 options. The Baggies look value for a share of the spoils at least in this one.

Watford v West Brom Predictions

Draw: This has the look of parity. The Baggies haven’t done much winning out on the road this season, while the Hornets just seem to blow hot and cold. A 1-0 home win over Sunderland isn’t massively convincing and the resilient Baggies can stick in there for a point.
