Watford vs Tottenham Hotspur | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
This the fourth season in succession for Watford in the Premier League and they are establishing themselves as a top-flight club. The Hornets finished in 14th place last season, which was one place lower than the season before and will be hoping to push for a higher finish this season. They are yet to finish in the top half since returning to the Premier League in 2015/16. Tottenham Hotspur are doing everything they can to challenge Manchester City for their title this season. However, Mauricio Pochettino did not strengthen his squad in the summer and the club came in for some criticism for their transfer policy. They have also had bad news about their new stadium and it remains to be seen if this will damage their chances.
Match Preview
Since their promotion from the Championship in 2014/15, Watford have always been one of the teams discussed as potential relegation candidates. The Hornets have never looked really settled, having changed their manager several times. Watford will hope to keep the same man in charge for the foreseeable future which will help when trying to win tough games like this one. Tottenham Hotspur have managed to keep hold of their man for at least one more season and Pochettino has done a great job at the club. A win in this game would mean the perfect start to the season for Tottenham Hotspur and move them 3 points clear of Watford in the process. It’s a game their fans will expect to win.
