Reason For Watford vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Watford put in another stunning performance on Saturday as they hammered Newcastle 3-0 at St James’ Park, further reinforcing exactly why manager Marco Silva is an in-demand man right now. This followed on from their 2-0 win against West Ham, leaving them in an impressive 8th position with just three points between them and the top four.
However, The Hornets have been known to collapse under pressure this season. Their 4-2 loss at Chelsea led to back to back defeats in the Premier League against Stoke and Everton, so another defeat could send them spiralling into a losing streak at any time.
The hosts have performed much better on the road this season as well, and their record at Vicarage Road leaves a lot to be desired. They have won two, drawn two, and lost two of their six home matches, although their draw against Liverpool and their win over Arsenal were fantastic results. Worryingly, they have only kept two clean sheets in these six games and have conceded a total of 11 goals.
Manchester United also got a win at the weekend, although it was in much less impressive circumstances. They struggled at home to a spirited Brighton side and were eventually saved by a late own goal, but in all honesty they didn’t deserve a win from that game.
A win is a win though, and it keeps The Red Devils 2nd in the Premier League table. They have struggled away from home at times this season, losing to both Huddersfield and Chelsea. However, their victories against Swansea and Southampton show that they have what it takes, and considering Watford’s home form, they will be expecting three points on Tuesday.
Defensively they do struggle away from home. They have only managed three clean sheets on the road and face a Watford side in fine form going forward, but with Manchester United scoring in all but two of their trips away, backing Both Teams to Score looks to be a good move here. We’re also opting for a Manchester United Win and Over 2.5 Goals alongside a 2-1 correct score predictions.
Marcus Rashford is the one to watch for the visitors. Watford’s weak spots this season have been headers and set pieces, with them conceding more than any other team from these situations. Rashford, meanwhile, is Manchester United’s top scorer in both of these categories, so backing him to get another here looks a good move.
