Saturday, at 15:00, Liverpool moves on Watford’s 13th stage Premier League, in a match where we are expecting a good rhythm and winning bets on goal picks. In 3 of the last 4 games we have witnessed at least three goals scored!
Watford is one of the best teams in the Premier League when it is on its own, with the 6th league balance sheet: 4 wins, two failures, no draws. However, Javi Gracia’s “wasps” have already received 8 goals on the “Vicarage Road” this season, and Liverpool will surely try to speculate any inaccuracies in the heavyweight defense of the London band. Moreover, Watford also misses the injuries Janmaat, Prodl and Cleverley.
If Watford is usually more prolific in the second half, Liverpool usually stakes the games in the first half. “Cormorants” by Jurgen Klopp have scored so far every time in the first round of the championship matches and all 6 goals scored by Mohamed Salah in the current season were scored before the break! In 9 of the 12 stages that have been missed so far, the “cormorants” led and managed to protect their advantage to the end of each time. It is a statistic that should give thought to the hosts, who will try to make a precise defensive game (and crowded) in the first part of the game.
When attacking, Liverpool often opens the game on the flanks.
Watford has some very talented and capable players to defeat Van Dijk’s defenses. We think, first of all, Deulofeu and Pereyra, who will “feed” Succes and Deeney, the naked people of Javi Gracia, with useful balloons. Henderson will be absent in Liverpool, but his place will be taken by Shaqiri, which will spur the construction of the guests. With the triple Mane – Firmino – Salah on duty, Jurgen Klopp will not be pleased with the game and will try to get a clear advantage in the first 45 minutes. With the “sides” of Arnold and Robertson, visitors will try to bring as many balls as possible to the hosts.
Given that the last 5 games played by Watford on their own home ended with at least three goals scored, we would not be surprised to see a new offensive festival in London. Watford comes after a 1-1 draw at Southampton and a 0-1 disappointing in Newcastle, while Liverpool has repaired his wrinkled image of Belgrade’s Red Star failure, managing to cross Fulham on his own home, scoring 2-0. This duel between two robust bands should bring a spectacular score, and Watford has no complexity in front of the Cormorants. However, Liverpool has won 4 of the last 5 straight games, with 2-0, 6-1, 1-0 and 5-0. The other match ended 3-3.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Watford: Foster – Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas – Deulofeu, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra – Success – Deeney
Liverpool: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson – Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Shaqiri – Firmino, Mane, Salah
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.73
