Watford v Liverpool Betting Preview – Premier League 12th August 3.00pm

Watford are actually sat at an appealing price to pull off a win this one but Liverpool have enjoyed such a good summer and have looked a huge threat pouring forward that it’s going to be hard to ignore them. The Reds had their struggles against the lower ranked sides in the league last season, but go as strong favourites to land a win in this one. They have won three of their last four visits to Vicarage Road after all.

Watford v Liverpool Betting Tips

The Hornets made a big capture over the summer in bringing in Marco Silva. He made such a huge impact for Hull, at least in their home performances last term, that he could pay off in spades for Watford. The Hornets were a bit of an ageing, multinational squad last season but already Silva has started to make changes with the likes of Tom Cleverley, Nathaniel Chalobah and Will Hughes coming in along with Andre Gray. Basically, Watford have a better squad than what Hull had available last season, so they should do fine. Except they don’t have a great record against Liverpool. The Hornets have lost three of their last four home games against the Reds, the exception being a 3-0 home win in the Premier League in December 2005. Watford lost home and away against the Reds last season conceding seven goals and conceding just the one. The Hornets have failed to score in five of their last six against the Reds now and there is a price of 13/8 on Liverpool to win to nil at Boylesports.

Troy Deeney is an 11/4 anytime goalscorer option with them. Will Liverpool be able to hang on to Philippe Coutinho with Barcelona knocking on the door for him? The Brazilian is an injury doubt for this one anyway because of a back problem that he has been nursing. Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino are 6/4 joint favourites in the goalscorer market for the visitors in this fixture. But last season Liverpool weren’t always convincing at the back against sides beneath them in the table and with a spirited effort from the Hornets, a Both Teams To Score bet at Boylesports is a decent 4/5 punt. Liverpool have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League games against the Hornets and in the Boylesports correct score market, a Liverpool 2-0 correct score is a price of 7/1 while a 2/1 punt is at 8/1.
