Manchester United vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 27/03/2019, 18:19  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 27/03/2019 at 19:22 in Premier League Predictions

Manchester United return to Premier League action and need to win this game. They have lost their last two games with a defeat at Arsenal in the Premier League followed by a loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup. They are currently fifth in the Premier League but only two points outside of the top four and that Champions League qualification place. They are undefeated in their last 12 league games, not losing since August. Two of the last three league games at Old Trafford have ended in draws and they can't afford to drop more points this weekend.

Watford have an appalling record against Manchester United with the last 16 games against them ending in one win and 15 defeats. They are eighth in the league and only a point behind Wolves in seventh. A Europa League place next season is still possible if they could finish seventh or win the FA Cup. It's possible their minds may be on the upcoming semi-final against Wolves and they regularly struggle when playing the top sides away from home. That's illustrated by recent losses away at Liverpool and Manchester City conceding eight goals. Go for Manchester United to get the win here.
