Liverpool host Watford in the English Premier League on Saturday and the preview and a variety of tips come from BetOlimp.
Liverpool vs Watford: Saturday 2nd of April 13:30.
Liverpool continue their title challenge on Saturday afternoon at 13:30 when they host Watford at Anfield. The Hornets have suffered a humiliating defeat last year in their reverse fixture at the Vicarage Road and their chances of getting revenge in Liverpool look slim
Liverpool
The Reds have successfully managed to close a 14-point gap on Manchester City and have now found themselves in a position they were laps from just a few weeks ago. Liverpool were in a high-flying form leading up to the international break – losing just 1 of the last 18 games across all competitions (which was only a loss in the Champions League against Inter) whilst their last Premier League victory was a 2-0 win over Arsenal. Klopp has a wide range of attacking personnel to field on the day which will most likely cause a ton of trouble for Watford`s backline.
Watford
The Saturday afternoon has a gloomy forecast for the Hornets. Roy Hodgson`s side has managed to win only 2 out of their last 11 Premier League games, which now finds them sitting in the relegation zone – 3 points away from safety. Leading up to their victory against Southampton, they have conceded 11 goals in their last 4 EPL games, hence why they were the underdogs against an underperforming Saints outfit. Even though they have pulled off a long-awaited victory, I do not see them building on the momentum at Liverpool.
Verdict
The Hornets have recently managed to hold Manchester United to a 0-0 draw and gave Arsenal a run for their money. However, Liverpool have proved themselves to be miles ahead of the 2 mentioned sides and with the likes of Mohammed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota all finding the net in recent games this will be a tough afternoon for the visitors.
