Watford vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Sunday 26th August 2018
Kick off at 1.30pm BST
Venue: Vicarage Road

Match Preview:

Some people will suggest that Watford’s great start to the season, which has seen them win both games has been down to a favourable fixture list but you can only beat what is put in front of you, and Javi Garcia’s men have done the club proud so far this season.

First came the 2-0 win at home to Brighton and that was followed up with a 3-1 away win against Burnley. Striker Roberto Pereyra has got off to a great start scoring 2 goals already and he will be looking to add to his tally.

Crystal Palace beat Fulham 2-0 away on the opening day of the season and then lost to Liverpool by the same score line at home. But manager Roy Hodgson will be quiety pleased with his team so far and they put in a great effort against Liverpool even if it ended in defeat. If they can apply the same desire in this match they could cause the home team some problems.

Watford vs Crystal Palace Prediction:

Both sides are playing good football, although only one has truly been tested. But both have confidence and we should see a very interesting game of football. We are going to take the over goals market for this game and for a smaller amount also back Palace to get the win. This has been a good stadium for the club to come to, and would be a perfect tonic to get back to winning ways, plus they have already won on the road this season.
