Wolverhampton vs Watford: the Wolves to break the bad streak

One of the Midweek fixtures will be the round 19 encounter between Wolverhampton and Watford. Will the Wolves break their three-match losing streak or will the Hornets take it to four games?

Wolverhampton has remained 8th in the standings. The Wolves have lost in the last three games. The opponents were teams from London: Arsenal (1-2), West Ham (0-1), and Crystal Palace (0-2). The loss to the former was offensive in the final minutes, the second was expected, and the third was unexpected, especially by a difference of two goals. Now it's time for Bruno Lage to pull his team out of this slump.

Under Roy Hodgson, Watford have only one win under their belt. It was over Aston Villa (1-0). Three more games passed since then, but no triumph was scored. First, the Hornets lost to Crystal Palace (1-4). Then, they bounced back from a defeat at Old Trafford (0-0). And last weekend, they lost at home to Arsenal (2-3). Thus, Watford sit in 19th place. The gap from the relegation zone is three points.

• Wolverhampton: Hoever, Semedu;
• Watford: Sarr, Nkoulou, Etebo, Rose, Ngakia, Troost-Ekong

These teams have met 49 times. The score is even, 16-16. The match of the first round ended with a victory of the Wolves (2-0). The last meeting at Molineux ended with the same score.

We believe that the game will be low-scoring, as the Wolves have problems with execution, and Watford under Hodgson is also not about goals. That said, Wolverhampton is still a class higher. That's why we recommend betting on their double chance and a Total Under (2.5) goals for 1.91 from 22bet. Also, we are still more inclined to a win for the Wolves, who will be eager to break their losing streak. Bet365 gives odds of 1.85 for the triumph of the hosts.

Finally, Wolverhampton, being hosts, will likely outclass the Hornets in the number of corners. 1xbet gives odds of 1.80 for this betting option.
