Swansea City Watford betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

A game that is expected to be very open and with several oportunities. Both Watford and Swansea have squads with few quality weapons and in this game they should act in a more offensive way. In addition, the offensive sectors of these two clubs usually present great quality when it comes to finishing. Thus, risking in favor of the market "Both teams score - Yes’’ is a good option.

Preview
Swansea City and Watford face at Liberty Stadium, in a match for the 23th round of the Championship. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 head‑to‑heads. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, on 23‑09‑2017, for the Premier League, Watford won by (1‑2). T. Abraham (56' ) scored for Swansea City and A. Gray (13' ) and Richarlison (90' ) for Watford. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 3rd and 5th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 4th best team in home matches and the 15th best in away matches.

After 11 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 3rd position, havinf won 40 points so far. In the last match, they have tied at home against Reading by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have won (0‑2) an away match against Queens Park Rangers. This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. In the last 10 home league matches Swansea City has a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 21 points out of 30 possible.

There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches) and 1‑0 (5 out of 11 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Swansea City comes to this match after a draw in the reception to Reading, registering in this way the third consecutive meeting without losing in this competition. In this match against Watford, the coach Steve Cooper should keep the team in 3-5-2 with Jamal Lowe and André Ayew being the most offensive references: the last player mentioned is the best scorer with 8 goals scored.

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 10 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Huddersfield Town, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Norwich City, by (1‑0).

Watford enters this game after a 1-0 victory against Norwich, thus registering the second straight game without winning in this second English division: the only goal of the match was signed by Ismaïla Sarr. Playing away from home, the coach Xisco should prioritize the organization of his defensive block and counterattacks, mainly through the corridors: Ken Sema and Ismaïla Sarr are faster and more dangerous players in front of attack. João Pedro is Watford's top scorer with 5 goals scored. Out of this game are Domingos Quina, Craig Cathcart, Tom Dele-Bashiru and Isaac Success, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Jeremy Ngakia, Ben Wilmot, Kiko Femenía, Francisco Sierralta, Nathaniel Chalobah, Ken Sema, Ismaila Sarr, Andre Gray.
