Watford v West Ham Betting Tips [12 May 2019]
The match
There is a lot at stake when Watford welcome West Ham United in the Premier League, as a top-half finish is up for grabs. Both sides are separated by just one point and one spot, with Watford currently at tenth. The hosts can be dragged down with a loss and will be wary of their recent form. They have won just once in their last five league games (W1, D1, L3) and have lost five of their last eight matches, winning just twice. Although they are unbeaten in their last three home games against West Ham, Watford are looking to do the league double over the Hammers for the very first time, following their 2-0 win in the reverse fixture in December. Another worrying factor is that the hosts have not won their final league match of the season since 2011/12. West Ham have managed to cling on to their top-half ambitions with two wins in their last three games (W2, D1), although they were preceded by three straight losses. The Hammers are also in the middle of a dreaded away form, having lost seven of their last nine Premier League trips (W1, D1, L1), although they have won 1-0 against Tottenham in their recent trip.
Key Statistics
- Watford have produced over 2.5 match goals in nine of their last 11 Premier League games.
- West Ham have failed to score in six of their last nine Premier League away games.
- The last five H2H results (wins/losses) have been by a two-goal margin.
The bet of our experts
Watford have won just one of their last five matches since advancing to their first-ever FA Cup final. There is no doubt that the hosts have set their sights and thoughts on that Wembley date and could be pushed by a West Ham side looking to make a move up into the top-half. However, the poor away form of the visitors threatens to undermine their bid and don’t be surprised if this game ends in a scoring draw.
