Reason for Watford vs Liverpool Predictions
Watford has a new manager – Claudio Ranieri, and he gets a tough start to life at Vicarage Road as he leads his new team against Liverpool in Round 8 of the Premier League. Watford is 15th, with seven points, and Liverpool is second with 15 points. Watford has had a tough start to the season upon promotion and goes to this game, having won just two of their seven league games. They lost 1-0 in their last match ahead of the international break, and the first area Ranieri will want to address in the defense, the team has managed just one clean sheet in nine games. They’ve lost five of the nine matches played this season and failed to score in four of them while they’ve conceded two or more in four. The biggest positive to have come from Watford this season is the form of Ismaila Sarr, who has scored four in the league so far. Oghenekaro Etebo plays well in the middle of the pitch, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Sarr enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it isn’t easy to keep this guy.
On the other hand, Liverpool is the last remaining unbeaten side in the league and is just a point below league leaders, Chelsea. In their last game before the international break, they drew 2-2 with Manchester City to extend their undefeated run to 10 matches. They have won seven of those ten matches and scored two or more goals in nine of the 10. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have been key for the Reds; they have scored a combined eight goals in the last five matches. Salah has scored in each of the previous five league matches, and Liverpool is unbeaten in their previous 17 league games, though the last two have ended in draws. Away from home, Liverpool has scored three or more goals in each of the last five, and they have three clean sheets in the previous four away league matches. Naby Keita has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Sadio Mane plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
Conclusion
Liverpool is the favorite in this match, and they are one of the major candidates to win the Premier League.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. This clash should be a real treat for all football fans.
