In my opinion, this match is totally going to be for glory as both teams don't have any claim to the title, neither would any major difference be made if either of the two teams loses. With the unpredictability of the premier league recently, one can say that even though Manchester City should be the side favored winning, Watford could come out and spring surprises. Moreover, Watford would be at home which could put them at a reasonable advantage over Manchester City but would that really reduce the efficiency of Man City players? Let's find out.
Head to Head (H2H)
Manchester City has been nothing but ruthless against Watford in their last 8 meetings. As a matter of fact, Watford has not been able to secure anything close to even a draw, not to talk about winning a game. All through the years, with different coaches and players, yet the scorelines haven't changed in the favor of Watford. Tomorrow's match, with the look of things, may not be any different as Man City has kept a reputation of thrashing Watford even at their home ground.
Winning margins
As mentioned earlier, Man City has been utterly ruthless against Watford and the scorelines actually uphold this fact. The only time since their 8 meetings that the winning margin stayed on just one goal was in December 2018 and it was a 1 - 2 loss to Watford even as the home team. Their most recent match ended in an utterly ruthless 8 - 0 win for Manchester City, it's a clean sheet. Will Watford be able to perform any kind of trick to win this match and clear off their losing streak against City? We'll find that out tomorrow.
Previous games records
Watford has not been impressive since the resumption of the premier league in June. They have only managed to win 2 out of 7 matches, drawn 1, and lost the rest. That is a total of 4 losses in 7 matches. Well, that says so much about their standing on the table.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has played 8 games, won 5, and lost 3. The team has recorded some really unexpected losses since the resumption of the league especially their loss to Southampton. Putting Manchester City against Watford, the unexpected losses don't look like they would come through. Even though Manchester City cannot contend for the league title anymore, that would really love to win this match — as usual — against Watford.
Teams
The Manchester City side outclasses Watford by every single letter of the word. Judging from management, to goalkeepers, to defenders, to midfielders, and then to the forward. Watford, in my opinion, should seek to hold City down by playing the counter-attack system. If they march out to seek goals, they probably would only get some against themselves.
Prediction/Verdict
We will leave the odds at 5.5 for Watford to win, 1.5 for Manchester City, and 1.5 for a draw.
Well, may the best team win.
