Liverpool v Watford Betting Tips – Premier League 17th March 5.30pm

A point out of this would see Liverpool move back into third place, but they will be gunning hard for three points to shake off that loss against Manchester United last weekend. The Reds are the only ones in the top six playing this weekend. Watford have been doing much better, but only at home and their away form is pretty miserable.

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool remains unbeaten on home soil in the top flight this season with a great W9 D6 record so far. They have picked up wins in their last two at Anfield, netting six goals and shipping just the one in the process. Liverpool have been very good at the back at home this season, averaging well under a goal per game against and so Liverpool to win to nil at Paddy Power looks to be a good place to start for action in this one at 10/11 odds * (Betting Odds taken at 8:12 p.m. on March 13th, 2018). After their last two league defeats they have responded with a win in the following games, so are value to do so in this one too. The Reds have scored at least two goals in each of their last six home games and in the Paddy Power correct score market a Liverpool 2-0 option is value at 13/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 8:12 p.m. on March 13th, 2018). 67% of their goals scored at Anfield this season have come after the half time break. Mo Salah is the First Goalscorer favourite for the game and three points will put Liverpool back up to third.

Watford News and Form

Watford’s fortunes have improved somewhat recently as they have collected three wins in their last five Premier League games (L2). The two losses in what sequence did happen out on the road though and they are badly out of form away from Vicarage Road. The Hornets have taken one point from their last 24 available away from home and they have failed to score in their last four away fixtures as well. Their overall record on their travels is W4 D2 L9 so they are vulnerable in this one for sure. The Hornets have conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game on their travels and they have conceded 62% of their goals in the second half of away matches. Only Stoke and West Ham have conceded more goals than Watford have done in this season’s Premier League and both teams not to score at Paddy Power is at even money odds* (Betting Odds taken at 8:12 p.m. on March 13th, 2018). It looks too tough of an away game for the Hornets at the moment.

Liverpool v Watford Head to Head

Watford grabbed a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw against Liverpool earlier in the season and that means Liverpool are unbeaten in four games against the Hornets in the Premier League now (W3 D1). Liverpool are on a four-match winning streak at home against the Hornets, three of those coming with a clean sheet. Both teams have scored in just two of the last nine meetings in all competitions and from the previous nine Premier League meetings, Liverpool are W6 D1 L2 against the Hornets.

Liverpool v Watford Predictions

Liverpool to win: The likelihood of a home win turning up is pretty strong in this one as Liverpool have enjoyed a fantastic home season and they should be able to find more than enough cracks in the Watford back line to win this. Liverpool to win to nil should appeal.
