Watford vs Millwall Prediction: A low-goal scoring game expected

Watford will hope to continue to improve their defense line after their recent games, when they face Millwall at Vicarage Road on Saturday. The hosts kept three clean sheets in their last three games. Can they get another one here? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Watford

DLWWD

Watford played a goalless draw in their last game against Stoke City to extend their unbeaten run to three games, where they kept clean sheets in all the games. However, prior to this run, they were winless in five straight games, where they lost four. The Hornets have lost five of their last six games at home to sit 10th on the table with 49 points in 35 games, scoring 45 goals and conceding 48. However, Kevin Keben (muscle), Kwadwo Baah (thigh), Pierre Dwomoh (thigh), and Daniel Bachmann (ACL) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Millwall

However, Ryan Leonard (unknown), Calum Scanlon (hamstring), Macaulay Langstaff (leg), and Camiel Neghli (muscle) are ruled out due to injuries.

Expert Betting Tips

Tom Cleverley and his boys have been able to get points in their recent games due to their improved defense line, which I beleive they will work towards again in this game. If they get their defense strategy right again, this game will see low number of goals and possibly one of the side keeping a clean sheet because Watford kept three clean sheets in their last three games. While the hosts have found a new form, their record at home recently isn’t that great to earn my support; so it won’t be surprising to see a draw.

Our prediction for this match is for a team to keep a clean sheet for odds of 1.71 at Betway.

Our second prediction is to see less than three goals for odds of 1.60 at Bet365.

Our third prediction is a draw with odds of 3.15 at 1xbet.
