Watford v Tottenham Betting Tips – Premier League, 2nd September 4.00pm

Watford have come flying out of the gates, posting three wins from three, although this will be their toughest test so far by a country mile. How will they stand up to a potential Premier League title contender? Spurs have gone about their usual efficient business with Harry Kane among the goals. They will be in good spirits after their big win at Old Trafford last Monday. Read our predictions for Watford v Tottenham.

Watford News and Form

This has been a dream start for Watford in the Premier League this season. Brighton have collected three straight wins over Brighton, Burnley and Crystal Palace. Granted they are going to get much tougher games in the top flight, of course, starting on Sunday evening with this one. Watford have produced exactly two goals in both of their home games this season.

So we have to look over 2.5 goals for the fixture at 7/10 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from August 29th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). The goals have certainly been coming and Roberto Pereyra is their top scorer with an impressive start.

Prayers has three goals this season and he’s a 7/2 anytime goalscorer option* (Betting Odds were taken from August 29th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). Still, for our Watford v Tottenham predictions, the Hornets are underdogs even on home soil. Watford have put out the same starting eleven in each of their games this season.

So there has been great consistency from them. On the team news from, Gerard Deulofeu is going to have a late fitness test ahead of this one. Last season Watford produced a W7 D6 L6 record at home in the top flight. They have won their last three in a row there.

Tottenham News and Form

It has been three wins from three for Tottenham as well than to kick off their season in style. Their two road games has seen them edge a one-goal margin success at Newcastle and then bag that tremendous 3-0 win out at Old Trafford last Monday. That result also gave them their first clean sheet of the new season.

Because of that and because Watford have been scoring, we are going with both teams to score at bet365 for 3/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from August 29th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). This should be a really good open, flowing game between two sides in a positive mood.

Harry Kane is already off the mark with two goals for the season and it is no surprise to see him up as the 5/2 first goalscorer favourite at all* (Betting Odds were taken from August 29th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). Rolling over from last season the Lilywhites are on a five-match winnings streak in the top flight and they have form against Watford too.

Spurs have won nine of their last ten games against the Hornets in all competitions. The Lilywhites have returned at least two goals in each of their last four Premier League. Erik Lamela may still be out so they could be unchanged from their trip to Old Trafford.
