Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Total Goals over 2.5 – 1.78

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two –  X2 and Total Goals over 1.5 – 1.57

Total Goals over 2.5

The hosts’ have the league-worst home side. So far this season, 12 of Watford’s 18 home matches have ended with more than 2.5 total goals. Meanwhile, 11 of Leicester City’s 17 away fixtures saw over 2.5 goals.

Considering those facts, we will back Total Goals over 2.5 outcome.

X2 and Total Goals over 1.5

Brendan Rodger’s side can no longer qualify for European football but can have a top 8 finish mathematically. Otherwise, anything lower than that would represent the Foxes’ worst Premier League finish since 2016/17 campaign (12th).

Moreover, Leicester City are winless in their last four trips to Vicarage Road. They need to change stats.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Watford vs Leicester City

On Wednesday night, Watford played out a goalless draw against Everton to pick a first home Premier League point since November, coming on the back of a top-flight record 11 successive league losses at “Vicarage Road.”

Moreover, the Hornets also secured a first home Premier League clean sheet after 22 games. Watford are already relegated to Championship and come into this game without any pressure.
