Watford – Brighton : Preview & Prediction
Nothing is going any more for Watford which has been chaining disappointments every week for almost three months… Indeed, Sissoko’s teammates have just lined up 11 matches without a win in a row, recording 2 draws and 9 defeats. The current 19th in the Premier League is only 3 points behind Newcastle, the first relegation player, but must react quickly to ward off the specter of a possible relegation to the Championship. Watford have the worst record at home and have lost 8 in 11 games at Vicarage Road since the start of the season. Since their elimination at Leicester City (4-1) in the cup, the Hornets have taken 1 point at Newcastle (1-1), have fallen heavily in front of Norwich (0-3), shared the points at Burnley (0-0) and narrowly lost to West Ham (1-0). Brighton, placed in the first half of the classification, are still in the race for European places since 6th place is within reach of Potter’s foals, just 6 points away. Maupay’s teammates (7 goals) were knocked out of the FA Cup by Tottenham (3-1) on February 5, but this elimination does not alter the good series of the current 9th in the Premier League. Brighton have still not lost in the league in 2022 and are on an unbeaten streak of 6 matches (2 wins and 4 draws). Brighton have shared the points in the last three days against Crystal Palace (1-1), against Chelsea (1-1) and Leicester (1-1)… Last two good performances against two big teams which place Brighton in optimal conditions for this trip to Watford.
Brighton is 9th and still in the running for European places.
Watford is in a relegation position in 19th place.
Brighton have lost just once away from home in 11 league outings.
Brighton are undefeated against Watford for 4 matches: 2 wins and 2 draws.
Watford on 11 games without a win (2 draws and 9 losses), Premier League and FA Cup included.
In the hard for almost three months, Watford should experience a new disillusionment with a formation of Brighton undefeated in the Premier League since December 15, 2021.
