West Bromwich Albion vs Watford Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th August 2022
West Bromwich Albion hope to live up to their early billing as the Championship title favourites on Monday when they welcome Watford over to the The Hawthorns for a round 2 match.
West Bromwich Albion failed in their attempt to get the new season underway with a win, but at least escaped from their opener with a point in hand. Watford booked their first win of the season in the Championship as they claimed all three points in the opener.
It is early days yet, anything can happen and both West Bromwich Albion and Watford are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at The Hawthorns as the teams look to get one over each other.
West Bromwich Albion are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They claimed a steady 13 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.3 goals per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 12 goals, or an average of 1.2 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.
Watford are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of four goals, and while Watford claimed seven clean sheets, they conceded an average of 0.4 goals per match.
West Bromwich Albion vs Watford Preview
West Bromwich Albion won four of their last six Championship matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded four and scored ten goals.
West Bromwich Albion would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.
Watford won three of a possible six away matches in the Championship, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored eight while also conceding six times.
The big goal of the season for Watford is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Championship season.
