Tottenham v Watford Betting Tips – Premier League 30th April 8.00pm
Spurs appear to have run out of steam a bit with just one point from their last two league games and an FA Cup defeat at the hands of Manchester United on the weekend. They are going to have a tough task of taking third place from Liverpool in the league as well. But there could be points on offer for them in this one with Watford out of sorts and remaining on a winless streak of form after a draw with Crystal Palace on the weekend.
Tottenham News and Form
Tottenham are looking to close out the season by holding off Chelsea in the race for a top-four league finish. They just have to defend a five-point lead to do that. Spurs have just hit a rough patch though, having taken one point from their last two league games and losing the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United. Tottenham have produced a W10 D4 L2 record at home this season. Before losing against Man City in their last home game, they were on a four-match winning streak at Wembley. So they have to try and pick themselves up from that. Spurs have averaged two goals per home game this term and have conceded less than a goal per game on average, a Tottenham 2-0 correct score at Paddy Power for 6/1 odds appeals* (betting odds taken on April 24th, 2018 at 1:56 a.m.). There has been a clean sheet for Spurs in 50% of their home fixtures this season and 62% of their home goals have come in the second half of matches. They have been particularly potent in the first fifteen minutes after the half time break, scoring 11 of their 20 second-half goals in that period. Spurs are currently on a 22 match scoring streak in the top flight.
Watford News and Form
Watford are just in a mess again at the moment with a poor D2 L4 return from their last six league fixture. They could only manage a home draw with Crystal Palace on the weekend, a 0-0 affair. Watford have scored in just two of their last six games so their form has badly deserted them. Away from Vicarage Road, they have put together a four-match losing streak and they have failed to hit the back in any of their last six on the road. Because of all that really a Tottenham to win to nil at Paddy Power is a pretty reasonable shout based on all that at 8/11 odds* (betting odds taken on April 24th, 2018 at 1:56 a.m.). Watford have produced a W4 D4 L11 record on their travels in the top flight his season and have taken a clean sheet in 24% of their road games only. 63% of the goals they have conceded on their travels have come in the second half of matches and now only West Ham and Stoke have a worse defensive record in the Premier League this season than the Hornets.
Tottenham v Watford Head to Head
When the two met at Vicarage Road earlier this season there was a 1-1 draw produced between the two of them. It leaves Spurs unbeaten in their last dozen games against the Hornets in all competitions now. Spurs have gone W4 D1 in the last five Premier League meetings with Watford. Spurs have won all four of their previous Premier League home games against the Hornets, conceding just the one goal in that sequence.
Tottenham v Watford Betting Odds*
Tottenham 1/9, Draw 13/2, Watford 14/1* (betting odds taken on April 24th, 2018 at 1:56 a.m.)
Tottenham v Watford Predictions
Tottenham to win: Spurs need to produce some kind of response to the gloomy week or so that they have had. Watford just don’t appear to be a major threat at the moment and the Lilywhites can bag themselves the three home points.
