Watford v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League 7th April 3.00pm
Watford continued a nice unbeaten streak of home form last weekend as they were held to draw by Bournemouth. The Hornets almost had it won until the Cherries popped up with an equalizer with about the last kick of the game. Burnley have been running along in fine form recently with a three-match winning streak under their belt. Can they keep it going as they visit Vicarage Road?
Watford News and Form
The Hornets almost bagged a home win last weekend against Bournemouth, but the Cherries pulled out a last-minute equaliser through Jermain Defoe. A victory would have moved the Hornets to a four-match winning home streak, but still, they are unbeaten in five at Vicarage Road now (W3 D2) and so are going along pretty well. They are on a huge eleven match scoring streak at home in the top flight so that’s a good trend to jump on. Watford to win 1-0 in the bet365 correct score market is at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 7:35 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). So they are looking solid enough at the moment. They have averaged 1.5 goals exactly per game at Vicarage Road this season. Defensively, for most of the season really, they haven’t been all that reliable they have conceded an average of 1.75 goals per home game. They have, however, taken two clean sheets in their last three on home soil. They are up at a quote of 5/2 with bet365 to win to nil* (Betting Odds taken at 7:35 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). The visiting Burnley will bring their defensive might and so under 2.5 goals is probably worth weighing up.
Burnley News and Form
Burnley suddenly burst back into life with a three-match winning streak and their last two have been produced on the road. They have scored at least two goals in their last three league matches now, who are unbeaten in their last four league outings. Away from home this season the Clarets are W6 D6 L4 but they have lost just one of their last four away from Turf Moor (L1). Chris Wood is in great scoring form at the moment for the Clarets with four goals in three games and he is the bet365 6/4 anytime goalscorer favourite for the game* (Betting Odds taken at 7:35 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). The Clarets have totalled 17 goals in their sixteen road games, while they have averaged under a goal per away game on average. They are good defensive side, they stay organised and will look to keep things tight. Just 38% of Burnley’s away games have made it over 2.5 goals. They are confident and in form and can challenge at Vicarage Road. Ten of Burnley’s twelve league wins this season have all been by a one-goal margin.
Watford v Burnley Head to Head
Burnley came out on top when these two met at Turf Moor earlier this season. From the last seven league meetings, the Clarets slightly edge things with a W2 D4 L1 record over the Hornets. However, Watford are running on a four-match unbeaten streak of form on home soil against the Clarets (W2 D2). Four of the last five meetings have gone under 2.5 goals.
