Burnley News and Form

Burnley picked up a 0-0 draw last weekend out at Southampton in their opening Premier League game of the season. That was not a highly surprising result really as Burnley have been busy dealing with Europa League qualifying matches. Overall Burnley have drawn all five of their games played this season (over 90 minutes) and each of the last three have ended in a 0-0 draw. Because of that, there will be big appeal in a Burnley v Watford prediction of a 0-0 draw Correct Score at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 10:46 p.m.). Since his debut with the club, keeper Joe Hart has three straight clean sheets. The indications are, that this will be a low-scoring game.

Burnley banked a seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season and so they have had to deal with Europa League qualifiers already this summer. They have done well to reach to the play-off round there. But they did have to go through extra time in midweek and that’s extra toil that they have had to produce early in the season. In the Premier League Burnley are without a win their last six (D3 L3) games but they are on a 10 match undefeated streak of form against Watford. They have taken a clean sheet in each of their last three home fixtures against them. Under 1.5 goals is at 11/8 odds at bet365* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 10:46 p.m.) and there have been under 2.5 goals in each of Burnley’s last four games.

Watford News and Form

The Hornet’s opened the new season with a good 2-0 home success over Brighton. They actually looked pretty bright, positive and energetic. They had a good start last season to their campaign but that quickly fell away. After failing to impress with the club last season boss Javi Gracia will have been delighted at the opening three points. It was Roberto Pereyra who netted both of their goals last weekend and he is at 15/4 in the anytime goalscorer market* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 10:46 p.m.) to follow up with another one in this one. As far a team selection goes, Tom Cleverley and Stefano Okaka are still out, while Gerard Deulofeu remains a doubt.

Watford did not have a good time of things on the road last season picking up a W4 D2 L13 record away from Vicarage Road. They failed to win any of their final twelve away games last season and didn’t net a single goal in any of their last eight. All that really points to this fixture being low on goals. With that in mind, both teams NOT to score at bet365 is at 4/6 and tops our Burnley v Watford betting tips. You actually add further support to that because five of Watford’s last six Premier League games have gone under 2.5 goals. The Hornets have been losing at half time and full time in five of their last road games in the top flight.
