Watford v West Brom Betting Tips – Premier League 3rd March 3.00pm
Watford have won their last two Premier League home games so have started to steady the ship of their wobbly season a bit. This is a good chance for them to make it three in a row a Vicarage Road as they play host to bottom side West Brom on the weekend. The Baggies are seven points clear of safety and are on a four-match losing streak after suffering a reverse against Huddersfield last weekend.
Watford News and Form
Watford have won back to back home games now and have produced a W3 D1 L1 record in their last five at Vicarage Road. So they are doing alright there now. The Hornets are on a nine-match scoring streak on home soil and therefore they look a decent shot to get themselves on the board in this home fixture against a flaky West Brom defence. Watford 1-0 correct score at BetVictor is at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 10:31 p.m. on February 26th, 2018). Of the five wins that they have produced in the league at Vicarage Road, three of them have been by a one-goal margin. Watford have averaged 1.5 goals per game at Vicarage Road while they have conceded an average of 1.8 per game so there has been plenty of action in Watford’s home games. 43% of their home fixtures have gone over 3.5 goals. They have scored two-thirds of their home goals in the second half of matches and only been ahead at half time four times this season at home. On three of those occasions, it was by a 1-0 scoreline. Troy Deeney has scored in their last two home games so is carrying a bit of form.
West Brom News and Form
West Brom look beaten and broken. It is a four-match losing sequence that they are on in the Premier League now and have gone winless in five. In each of their last four defeats, they have shipped at least two goals and their home loss against Huddersfield last weekend felt like something of a final nail in their coffin. They have failed to win any of their last thirteen away games in the league and have suffered back to back 3-0 losses on their travels, albeit at Man City and Chelsea. There has been just the seven goals scored by West Brom on their travels all season while they have conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game away from home. Last season at this stage of their campaign, they were a whopping twenty points better off than they are at the moment. There has not been a clean sheet for West Brom in any of their last five road games and each of their last four home and away combined have gone over 2.5 goals. The Baggies have claimed seven points away from home all season, the joint-worst away record in the top flight along with Swansea. Only Swansea have produced fewer goals than West Brom have done. Will Alan Pardew still be in a job after the weekend?
