Wolves News and Form
Wolves have surprised a lot of people over just how strong of a start that they have made to life in the Premier League. They have adapted well and they are W4 D3 L1 for the season. They head back into action being undefeated in six and they are W4 D1 in their last five alone. The point in that sequence coming in a great performance at Old Trafford against Manchester United. They have taken a clean sheet in each of their four wins this season so Wolves to win to nil is not an unrealistic proposition at 7/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 7:29 pm).
None of their last seven fixtures in the Premier League have made it over 2.5 goals. That is partly down to their excellent control of games and strong defensive performances. Three of the last four wins that Wolves have come up with have been by a 1-0 scoreline. So riding the Wolves 1-0 trend option in the correct score market is at 6/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 7:29 pm) looks a sound proposition. Five of the six league goals that they have come up with at Molineux this season have all been after the half time break.
Watford News and Form
Watford won their opening four games of the season, but their form has taken a nosedive. They have earned one point from their last four fixtures, failing to score in their last two. Just before the international break, they took a hammering at home in a 4-0 reverse against Bournemouth. So the pressure is mounting and they are W1 D1 L1 so far from their three road games, the last two ending under 2.5 goals.
Both teams not to score is at 4/5 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 7:29 pm) as the likelihood is that this will be a tight fight. Watford have not picked up a clean sheet since their opening game of the season. They have shipped ten goals in their last four league games, and with goals drying up for them (two in four) their attack isn’t covering up their defensive frailties. The Hornets have shipped three of their four away goals in the second half of matches this season.
Wolves v Watford Head to Head
Wolves and Watford will be squaring off for the first time since the 2014/15 Championship season. Wolves took an away win and a home 2-2 draw that season against Watford. Wolves are undefeated in their last three home games against Watford, winning one of those. Both teams have scored in all but one of the last six meetings and four of those six have made it over 2.5 goals.
Wolves v Watford Predictions
Wolves to win: There’s no reason that we can see as to not back the home side to take the victory in the game. They have looked positive and ambitious and with Watford falling out of form, it’s a good chance to back the home side.
