Watford enter the contest following a string of mixed performances. They sit tenth in the table after their 4-1 defeat to Bristol City last time out.

Their opponents, Stoke City, experienced a number of subpar outcomes prior to their recent win. They stand 18th in the rankings following a 3-1 win over Birmingham City in their previous league match.

Carrying on, Watford holds an edge here, having won two of their past three matches. They also have a solid recent record against Stoke. Meanwhile, Stoke City’s recent difficulties are highlighted by the fact that their most recent victory was their first in a ten-match span, during which they also lost four games.

Therefore, a victory for Watford at 2.04 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, the odds of 1.87 for both teams to score look quite attractive. Given that the hosts have scored eight goals in their past three matches. While the visitors also did score three goals last time out.
