West Ham vs Watford PREVIEW & PREDICTION 22/12/2018

Saturday, at 15:00, the London derby between West Ham United and Watford should bring profit to gamblers betting on at least three scored goals. Both bands have a creative, but hesitant defensive approach, which snaps naked with ease.

West Ham has won the last 4 consecutive stages of an impressive maneuver and the effort of Manuel Pellegrini’s team is all the more impressive as the “hammers” are missing important players affected by medical problems: Arnautovic, Fredericks, Lanzini, Reid, Sanchez, Wilshere , Yarmolenko and Lucas Perez. The pressure from the attack was taken over by “Chicharito” Hernandez, Michail Antonio and Felipe Anderson, and the Brazilian adapted very well in English football, being the top scorer of the London team with 5 successes. For nearly a decade it has not happened that West Ham has won 5 consecutive championship wins!

Saturday, Watford is coming to make an important step in the fight for survival, with Javi Garcia’s team being one of the most incongruous in the league. Without Ashley Gray, Hughes and Prodl, Watford needs a defensive game much more accurate than what has been shown lately: “the wasps” have received at least two goals in each of the last 5 championship matches. With an opponent in great shape, Watford can be the sure victim, as he has managed a single victory in the last 7 stages.

West Ham comes after Newcastle 3-0, 3-0 with Cardiff, 3-2 with Crystal Palace and 2-0 with Fulham, which resulted in Manuel Pellegrini in the first half of the hierarchy. West Ham is ranked 9th (25-25 goals), while Watford is ranked 10th (goal 23-25) at a draw with points in the capital. On the whole, the moment is on the side of the hosts, which Andy Carroll could play a very important role in the attack. Watford has only two victories in the last 20 championship tours and meets a band that has not had such a good four-year result this season! With fans, “hammers” will have the initiative to play and are favorites to score and get more corners. Both bands open the game a lot on the flanks and this could be the key to the profit for us!

West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski – Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku – Rice, Noble – Snodgrass, F. Anderson, Antonio – Chicharito

Watford (4-4-2): Foster – Femenia, Kabasele, Cathcart, Holebas – Deulofeu, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra – Deeney, Success


PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.74
