Manchester United v Watford Betting Tips – Premier League 13th May 3.00pm

The Red Devils have locked down second place so they have nothing left at stake in this one. So it will be just about trying to perhaps put in a positive performance to appease the fans who haven’t seen a lot of inspiring stuff this term. Watford haven’t been solid at the back for a long time now and may not enjoy their afternoon out on Sunday.

Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United collected a point in a stalemate at West Ham in midweek. It wasn’t a good game at all. United are W14 D2 L2 back at Old Trafford this season and they have good form there having won six of their last seven home fixtures in the Premier League. In the bet365 correct score market a Manchester United 2-0 option is at 7/1 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 7:15 p.m.). The Red Devils missed Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford against West Ham and that clearly took a toll on them as they really did not create anything in and behind the Hammers’ defence. Will they be able to create without Lukaku though who has scored ten of his sixteen league goals this season at home? United have averaged two goals per home game this season while they have earned a clean sheet in 61% of their home fixtures. Overall for the season they have the second-best defensive record in the top flight and they secured a second place finish with the point against West Ham.

Watford News and Form

Watford were running on an eight-match winless streak of form (D2 L6) before they took a win over Newcastle last weekend. That was one of their better performances as well, but by the other token, Newcastle were really poor especially in the first half. But that was action at Vicarage Road and Watford have been poor on the road. The Hornets are on a five-match losing streak on their travels and are winless in eleven. They have not hit the back of the net in any of their last seven away games either so Manchester United to win to nil at bet365 is at 11/10 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 7:15 p.m.). The Hornets have averaged under a goal per game this season and it is hard to picture them putting it all behind them and running out winners at Old Trafford on the weekend. Of the goals that Watford have shipped on the road, 62% of them have been after the half time break in games. Only two sides have conceded more goals than Watford have done this season and that will leave them in jeopardy for this one.

Manchester United v Watford Head to Head

Manchester United were 4-2 winners at Vicarage Road back when the two met for the first time this season making it back to back league wins over them.

Home and away United have won four of their last five league games against Watford.
