England is playing every day during Christmas holidays and 1 January is not an exception. Two matches will be played on this date, one of which will be the encounter between Watford and Tottenham. The future competitors are well-acquainted with each other and the stronger and titular club did not have any problems with the Hornets lately. It seems, that bookmakers think, that in the upcoming game the scenario of the previous matches of the teams will repeat, i.e. the Spurs will get another victory.
After 18 played rounds in the EPL, Watford have managed to gained 22 points, which allow the team to be on the tenth position in the EPL tournament table. But lately the Hornets do not perform that well with defeats from Manchester City and Sunderland and a hard tie against Crystal Palace with a missed penalty by Benteke. The Hornets’ performance level also raises questions.
As for Tottenham, their current shape can be called great. Pochettino’s team easily beat Southampton with the match held on the rival’s pitch, and it is known, that the Saints look pretty good at Saint Mary’s. After 18 rounds the Spurs have 36 points and the fifth position in the EPL tournament table, the team’s goal is a place in the top four, which is only one point away.
If Tottetham easily beat Southampton, so the Spurs’ victory over Watford, which do not impress both with performance and results, would not be a surprise.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win.
