Watford V Swansea Predictions & Betting Odds

Watford v Swansea Betting Tips – Premier League 30th December 3.00pm

Watford got themselves a much needed win on Boxing Day as they fought out a home win over Leicester. That snapped a four match losing streak that they were on, so it was a welcome boost for them. Swansea were hammered at Anfield by Liverpool and they look a bit down and out at the moment. Nothing is happening for them at all right now and once again they may find themselves short of the goals needed to contend.

Watford News and Form

There was a much needed win for Watford on Boxing Day as they collected a 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road over Leicester. The Hornets fought back from a goal down in the game as well. It was an important game for Watford too as it snapped a four match losing streak and a six match winless streak of form that they were on. It leaves Watford with a W3 D3 L4 home record in the Premier League this season and the triumph over the Foxes on Tuesday also snapped a three match winless streak of home form that the Hornets were on. There are problems at the back for them as they have not managed to pick up a clean sheet in any of their last seven games now. But they are not exactly facing a prolific Swansea side in this one and Watford to win to nil with Ladbrokes could be a good option to consider for the match up. Watford have scored 13 goals in their ten games at Vicarage Road during the campaign but they have conceded at over two goals per game. They have actually only opened the scoring three times at home this season, but they do have some great quality going forward though with Abdoulaye Doucoure a decent 7/2 anytime goalscorer option.

Swansea News and Form

Another loss for Swansea cropped up on Tuesday as they lost 5-0 at Anfield against Liverpool. That was never going to be an easy game for them. But it means that they are now on a seven match losing streak away from home in the top flight and they have still only managed the five away goals all season. Because of that, under 2.5 goals at Ladbrokes is a solid 7/10 option. Their lack of goals is a concern but now heaping pressure on is that their defence has started to crack even more and they have shipped twelve goals in their last four league matches now, and relegation looks a certainty at this point. Swansea have conceded an average of 1.6 goals per away games this season and they have failed to score in 60% of their road fixtures. Out on their travels, they have netted three clean sheets, but they haven’t been able to do much going forward. They are eight games without an away win now and that will probably be extended in this one. On top of all this, January’s fixture list isn’t going to be kind to them and at Ladbrokes Swansea are 1/5 odds on favourites to suffer relegation this term to the Championship.
