For the first time since 2006, Everton failed to score in three Premier League matches in a row. This is quite incredible, and the fact influences our Everton vs Watford betting tips very significantly. The dismal run made Everton's chances to qualify for Europa League almost non-existent, but they would love to finish the season at Goodison Park on a positive not to say goodbye to their home fans.
Watford are rather comfortable opponents as we show in our Everton vs Watford preview. Watford lost five away games in a row without scoring a goal, and we could expect the same problematic result here for the Hornets. The fact that Watford are safe from relegation makes them a bit less motivated to change the momentum.

Both teams failed to score in the last three Premier League fixtures, which makes a bit easier to make our Everton vs Watford predictions. Even though the brilliant Romelu Lukaku is desperate to find the net, this game is not supposed to produce a lot of goals, and the odds on under 2.5 goals are very tempting at 2.15. Everton are clear favourites to win in front of their home crowd, especially taking into account Watford's poor away record, and they could do so without conceding a goal. Watford score just 12 away goals all season. The odds on Everton to win to nil are very generous at 2.37.
Everton to win to nil 2.37 Bet365
