Burnley vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar | in Championship Predictions
Watford’s playoff hopes will be put to the test when they travel to Burnley this weekend in the Championship. This match at Turf Moor on Saturday will see the third-placed Clarets look to stay within touching distance of the top two as they host the seventh-placed Hornets looking to move up the ladder.
Ahead of this round, Burnley are third with 41 points and only one behind second-placed Leeds, while Watford are seventh with 34 points and only behind the top six by goal difference. Burnley defeated Norwich 2-1 in their last match, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches, where they won five matches.
It is their impressive defensive record that keeps Burnley ahead of the competition, with their record of eight goals against the best in the league. At home too, they have kept a clean sheet in six of their last seven home league matches. Watford will look to break that sequence as they come here on the back of a 2-1 win over West Brom.
That result kept them unbeaten across six matches, keeping them in the hunt for a top-six finish. Only five teams have scored more than Watford’s 29 goals this season, and that could give them an opening against the league’s best defence.
Despite such impressive numbers, the Hornets have struggled on the road, losing seven of their last ten away league games. Yet, a win and two draws from their last four away trips mean they could look to come back from this trip with at least a point.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
