Watford v Bournemouth Betting Tips – Premier League 31st March 3.00pm

Watford will have been pleased to have seen the international break as they were on a two-match losing streak. So they will be hoping to come back recharged a bit. They take on Bournemouth who are sat level on points with them in the middle of the table. The Cherries have won only one of their last five league outings though and this should be an even contest.

Watford News and Form

Watford were glad to see the international break probably after suffering big away defeats at Arsenal and then Liverpool. At least they get a chance to shake that off and start again. They are on a three-match Premier League winning streak at Vicarage Road at the moment, winning their last two by a 1-0 scoreline. In the Betvictor correct score market at Watford 1-0 option is at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 05:19 p.m. on March 26th, 2018). Watford are without defeat in their last four home games, losing just one of their last six there (W4 D1). So they have home form. The Hornets have a W6 D4 L5 record on home soil in the Premier League where they have averaged about 1.5 goals per game. They haven’t been watertight all season really though so look at the both teams to score option to oppose the correct score. Watford have scored in each of their last ten home games now, 60% of their home games going above the 2.5 goal line.

Bournemouth News and Form

Since Christmas Bournemouth have done so well to turn their season around and those relegation concerns have long since passed them by. With that having been said, they haven’t been great on the road, taking only the three wins away from the Vitality all season long in the top flight. They have gone W1 D3 L1 in their last five on the road which isn’t bad though, and they are on a five-match scoring streak on their travels too. They have actually scored in each of their last twelve Premier League games. They have gotten better in front of goal over the second half of the season, but defensively they have slipped a little bit and they are without a clean sheet in six games now. You will be looking at odds of 8/13 at Betvictor* (Betting Odds taken at 05:19 p.m. on March 26th, 2018) on both teams to score. The Cherries have averaged under a goal per game away from home this season and have collected a clean sheet in just 20% of their road fixtures.

Watford v Bournemouth Head to Head

Watford are unbeaten in their five previous Premier League matches against Bournemouth but won just one of those. So there have been a lot of drawn matches between these two in recent history, six of the last eight, in fact, have ended level so there’s a big trend there. The Hornets are unbeaten in seven against the Cherries at Vicarage Road.
