Bookmaker ratings prediction one: Manchester City win and over 2.5 – 1.45
Bookmaker ratings prediction two: both halves result – Manchester City – 1.58
Manchester City win and over 2.5
Manchester City scored a total of 72 goals this season in the Premier League, averaging 2.34 goals per game. As Watford averages 0.95 goals/game. These numbers make us certain that we will witness at least 3 goals and Manchester City will win comfortably.
Both Halves Results – Manchester City
Out of their 31 league games, Citizens have won the first half-time in 17 of them. Moreover, they have won 11 times in the second half-time. We fully expect that according to the scenario of the game, City will win in both halves.
After Liverpool winning their “Rival game” against Manchester United, they replaced Manchester CIty to become the title favorites. However, Manchester City keeps winning and taking back their position in the league. Guardiola wants to compete on all levels, unfortunately he was knocked out from the FA Cup against Liverpool and is now going to face the Spanish giants Real Madrid in the sem-finals of the Champions League. Despite a couple of injuries citizens are facing, Guardiola has a big and deep squad for rotation in the remaining games of the season.
On the other hand, Watford is now located in the 19th position in the league, the relegation zone. Norwich is only one point behind while Burnley is one position above with a difference of 3 points and a game in hand making Watford’s objective of staging in the Premier League for another season a very difficult one. Watford have shown some offensive performances this season winning against Manchester United and Everton by scoring 5 and 4 goals respectively, but now are lacking to show any sign of winning.
Manchester City and Watford have met 14 times previously, City has 100% success facing Watford winning 14 games.
