Watford at Aston Villa 1/21/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Two teams that are coming off draws in the weekend will now clash against one another on Tuesday, when Aston Villa will host Watford. Aston Villa have been in mediocre for at best lately, while Watford have been really good compared to how they started the season.

Watford (5-10-8) are coming into this match after a somewhat frustrating goal-less draw at home against Tottenham. They had a chance to score at the 70th minute but Deeney missed on the penalty kick and the two teams split the points. Watford are now undefeated in their last seven matches in all competitions (4-0-3). They are sitting at the 17th spot of the league table with 23 points, one ahead of Aston Villa and the red line. They have a 2-6-3 record on the road, scoring just nine goals so far, with three of those coming in their most recent.

Aston Villa (6-13-4) played a really balanced match on the road against Brighton, where they came back from one goal behind to eventually settle for a 1-1 draw. They have not been in the best of shapes lately, winning two of their last five (2-2-1). Aston Villa are sitting at the 18th spot of the Premier League with 22 points, one behind Watford and West Ham. They have been quite feisty at home so far (4-5-2), winning three of their last five there.

Watford did great to beat Aston Villa by 0-3 at home right before New Year’s and also won both matches when the two teams last met in the 2015/16 season. But Aston Villa have the upper hand as hosts in this match-up (2-1-0) and Watford have struggled mightily on the road. This is a battle to avoid the relegation and I am tempted to go with the home side here.
