Watford at Bournemouth 1/2/19 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Bournemouth saw their misery extended over the weekend when they met a really heavy loss on the road against Manchester United. They are looking for a way out of their slump but will have a tricky task coming their way on Wednesday, when they will play host to Watford. Watford are slowly finding some rhythm and could be extra competitive here.

Bournemouth (8-10-2) are coming into this match after meeting a really unbalanced loss on the road against Manchester United. Things quickly took a turn for the worse and Manchester United were already leading by three goals by the end of the first half, with Bournemouth only managing to score a consolation goal. That was their fifth loss in their last six matches, and the third time they concede at least three goals in that span. Bournemouth are now sitting 12th in the league table with 26 points, two behind Watford. They have been quite competitive at home (5-3-2) but have lost three of their last five. Watford (8-8-4) did not play a very good match at home against Newcastle but did manage to salvage a point from that 1-1 draw. Their opponents took the lead in the first half but Watford did not back down, they kept on fighting and found the equalizer at the 82nd minute for the final 1-1. Watford have been in pretty solid for lately, losing just once in their last five (2-1-2). They are now sitting at the 9th spot of the Premier League with 28 points, just as many as Leicester. They have been really mediocre on the road so far (3-3-3) and have won just once in their last five (1-2-2).

Bournemouth destroyed Watford by a massive 4-0 on the road earlier in the season, and that means that there has not been a home win in this match-up in the last seven matches regardless of venue. This will be a tough match for both sides but I expect goals to fly here, so I will go with the Over 2.75.
