Stoke City vs Watford Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 19 August 2023.
Stoke City are set to host Watford at Bet365 Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Stoke enter the contest following a string of mixed performances. They sit 13th in the table after a 2-0 defeat to Ipswich Town in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Watford, too, have had a handful of mixed performances to start the Championship season. Following a 0-0 draw with Plymouth, they stay third in the table.
The last time these two clubs met was in May. Watford managed to deliver a 2-0 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Stoke City has won five times, there has been one draw, and Watford has won four times.
We are counting on Stoke to pull off a win here. They have a fine home record going into this one. Their past two home matches have both resulted in wins.
Watford, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They have gone winless in their past two matches and have also lost their last away match.
We expect goals in this match. In both of Stoke’s past two home matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, Watford has scored goals at a fine rate in recent weeks, including four in their last two league matches.
In addition, four of the last five h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Both teams have been scoring a decent number of goals in recent weeks. The hosts have scored at least two goals in both of their past two home matches. While the visitors have scored five goals in their last three matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Stoke City have a fine home record heading into the match. Their past two home matches have both ended in victories. They also have a solid recent record against Watford. Furthermore, Watford has had a mediocre form going into the match.
A victory for Stoke City at 2.25 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.72 look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ strong attacking prowess and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
