Watford vs Burnley: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 7th April 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Vicarage Road

Match Preview:

Watford will feel that one more win will secure their Premier League status and they will try to get this when they take on Burnley on Saturday afternoon. The Hornets come into this game on a bad run which has stretched for 3 games without a win. Though two of those games were against Liverpool and Arsenal. They were however able to draw last week in a 4 goal thriller at home to Bournemouth.

Watford have had more success at home where they have won 23 of their total 37 points. The Hornets are also on a great home run of 5 games undefeated and that includes wins over both Everton and Chelsea.

Burnley are currently the best team in the league once we take the elite sides out and they have had a very solid campaign in 7th place. Current form would have Sean Dyche’s men in the top five and they have won 3 games in a row. On the road Burnley have the 6th best record and have won back to back games.
