Our prediction for the match Watford vs Leeds United
“The Hornets” continued to disappoint in the previous cycle. They took only 56 points and finished in 15th place according to additional indicators. “The Whites”, having been relegated from the Premier League after a couple of years there, fought for a return, but ultimately finished in 3rd position in the regular season, after which the club lost to Southampton in the play-off final.
Despite the misfire, Daniel Farke retained his position. And the specialist can justify the trust, approaching the mark of 20 victories in the Championship with his footballers and practically not losing, so far. The team also won the game against Coventry – 2-0. Still, the cup meeting with Millwall was lost on the native field (may be, the club got rid of the burden?). Tom Cleverley’s wards have a chance to finish in the top 6 of the table. At the same time, the number of defeats has increased sharply since the end of December. Taking into account the higher mentioned results, a 2-2 draw in the struggle with Sunderland looks like a success.
The hosts of the arena score and concede approximately equally, 1.4 goals per game (although the number of the first ones is fewer). One of the leaders has got excellent statistics: scoring a couple of goals, the team concedes more than 3 times less – 0.61!
