Burnley vs Watford Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Burnley have kept seven clean sheets in their last ten league games
• Watford’s last five league losses have been to nil
• Watford average just 1 goal per game away from home, Burnley average 0.75 conceded at home

Runaway title leaders

Burnley have been phenomenal this season, their relentless march towards the title has barely been impeded, and a visit from Watford on Tuesday is unlikely to change that. The hosts have kept seven clean sheets in their last ten league games, all of which have been wins, and have scored eleven goals across their last five – an average of 2.2 goals per game. Watford on the other hand have won just once in their last five, including draws against struggling sides Rotherham and Reading.

All signs point towards another routine win for Vincent Kompany’s side, and a correct score prediction of Burnley to win 2-0 lines up accordingly.

Watford’s inconsistencies

Watford are still in the playoff positions as things stand, but look set to lose out due to their recent form, with the hunting pack very close behind. It has been an inconsistent season for The Hornets, and they simply do not win enough games. Ten draws and nine losses from their 31 games played in the league is a poor record for a side who would’ve been hoping to impose themselves on the division, and this record is unlikely to get any better when they visit Turf Moor on Tuesday night.

Watford’s last five losses have all come to nil, and with Burnley’s imperious defensive record, it is hard to see any other result than Burnley winning to nil, likely seeing Watford fall out of the playoff places.
