Tottenham Hotspur are flying at the moment – Pochettino’s side have won 5 Premier League games in succession and they are unbeaten in 8 games in all competitions. They left it late to beat Swansea in midweek, with a couple of injury time goals from Son and Eriksen breaking Welsh hearts to secure a 3-1 win for visiting Spurs. Tottenham Hotspur are the only Premier League team to remain unbeaten at home in 2016/17, an ominous sign for Watford.
Watford have 2 wins on the bounce themselves, both victories also coming with valuable clean sheets. The Hornets are enjoying being in a comfortable mid-table position and that security should allow them to play at White Hart Lane with a degree of freedom. They have won just once in 11 away games, however, though that solitary victory did come at Tottenham’s North London rivals Arsenal.
In the reverse fixture between the 2 sides at Vicarage Road, Tottenham Hotspur ran out 4-1 winners, helped by a brace each from Harry Kane and Deli Ali. Although the talismanic Kane is unavailable through injury this time around, Spurs will be confident of turning over Watford with ease again. Read our Tottenham Hotspur V Watford betting tips below.
With Tottenham Hotspur’s sensational long-term home form coupled with their current winning streak, the signs look bleak for visiting Watford. The home side are doing everything they can to rein in league leaders Chelsea and another win at The Lane will keep their slim title hopes alive. Watford will work hard but ultimately fall short against superior opposition. Home win.
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to dominate this one right from the off and NetBet’s odds of 20/23 for the home side to win to nil looks a solid if unspectacular offer. I also like the look of their odds of 21/20 for Deli Ali to score anytime. The attacking midfielder is always a goal threat and he should have plenty of chances to add to his 15 Premier League goals this season.
