Draw or Burnley to Win

According to the statistics, there is a 40% chance for Burnley to win this match. Also, the possibility for a draw is 30% which is more than Watford’s chances of winning at 20%. Moreover, Burnley have not lost to Watford in five meetings.

Under 2.5 Goals

Watford and Burnley played two games each this season and all four games with under 2.5 goals. Additionally, four of the last eight h2h meetings produced two or fewer strikes and the stats show a 55% possibility for this trend to happen.

Correct Score Group Bet 0-0, 1-0, 0-1

Three times in their last five meetings, the match ended with one of the suggested results. In addition, last season ten times these scores were the final result of Watford’s matches and 11 times in Burley’s games.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Watford vs Burnley

Both Watford and Burnley were relegated last season from the Premier League after a very weak season. The Hornets won six of 38 games in the PL and their only highlight of the season was beating Man Utd 4-1. In the last three seasons, Watford jumped back and forth between the divisions finding it hard to remain among England’s top teams.  

With the Hornets’ main aim being an automatic promotion, they started the season quite well beating Sheffield United in the first round and drawing with West Brom in the second. Coach Rob Edwards wants to make sure his team takes full advantage of playing at home unlike the previous season when they won just twice at the Vicarage Road.

Burnley’s season in the Premier League was also not impressive losing 17 of their total fixtures. Moreover, the Clarets had just two wins on the road and scored on average 0.84 goals per game while playing away. 

Having the exact same results as Watford in the two matches played so far, newly appointed coach Vincent Kompany has high hopes for his teams. With just two preseason friendlies in which Burnley beat low-tier clubs Shrewsbury and Rochdale, Kompany wants his team to prove itself against the big clubs in the Championship.

Watford vs Burnley Prediction

This will be a tight match as was the case in four of the last five meetings between Watford and Burnley. The fact that Burnley are undefeated by Watford in five matches, gives them a slight edge in this matchup. Hence, we will back a double chance of a draw or away win.

Safe Bet 

There were one or fewer goals scored in the second half of the four matches played by Watford and Burnley this season. Also, the second half of three of the last five h2h meetings produced under 1.5 goals. With odds of 1.55 at 22Bet, we will back to see under 1.5 goals in the second half.
