Watford vs Newcastle: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 5th May 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Vicarage Road

Match Preview:

Both teams look safe but Watford on 38 points would still feel more comfortable with another couple of points under their belts. They come into this game in 13th place having suffered a routine 2-0 loss away to Tottenham. The Hornets have no wins in the league for two months and have been very poor.

At Vicarage Road it’s been two draws and a loss in their last three games and the most worrying aspect is that their bad results have been happening against teams who have underperformed this season.

Newcastle’s form has taken a nosedive but they are safe in 10th place on 41 points. After having a good few weeks the club have lost their last 2 games against Everton and then West Brom by the same score line of 1-0.

The West Brom loss was a poor one given that the Magpies were at home, but the incentive to win has reduced now and that always plays a big part.

Newcastle have been poor on the road losing 9 games with one win in their past six which came when they beat Leicester 2-1 another side struggling for form.

Watford vs Newcastle Head to Head:

Watford won at St James Park earlier this season by 3-0

Newcastle have not won at Vicarage Road since 2010

The most common correct score line is 2-1 which has repeated 3 times out of the last 5 meetings

 

Watford vs Newcastle Prediction:

For us we will go for the home team to find some early season form and beat Newcastle but also cover the draw for extra safety. Watford were equipped well this season and have lost form but the motivation is there to win this game at the weekend and be 100% safe. Newcastle have a terrible record against Watford and are already safe.
