Watford
- Watford have won three of their last five matches and are enjoying a two-game winning streak.
- At home, Watford have won three of their four matches (W3, L1).
Peterborough United
- Peterborough United have won just one of their last five games.
- Away from home, Peterborough United have won one and lost one of their two matches.
- On their travels, the Posh have scored just 0.75 goals per-match while conceding 2.00 per-match on average, which doesn't bode well for the visitors' chances of making an impact at Vicarage Road Stadium.
Betting Insights
The odds for this game indicate that there will be goals, with Over 2.5 (1.55) the odds-on favorite, and Both Teams To Score - Yes (1.62) is a decent value option, though the Draw (4.35) looks the best value.
Prediction
- Alessio Dionisi's side have been a flexible, attacking side.
- Their ability to change shape, play possession-to-break football and hit teams on the break has given Watford a sharp edge, which is exactly why we're expecting the goals to flow in this one.
- Luke Williams' Peterborough United have set up shop to be a direct, transition-heavy side this season, while their direct style should allow the Posh to press with numbers, and they can spring the front two forward in an instant.
- In terms of momentum and form, this looks an easy game for Watford to get through.
