Aston Villa vs. Watford: Preview and betting tips

Aston Villa will be looking to avenge their first round defeat of the season to Watford. The truth is that the two teams are currently in a much different frame of mind. Thehome side would like to attack the Top 7, while the visitors are drowning in the relegation zone.

Aston Villa went up after the arrival of Steven Gerrard, in addition, they strengthened interestingly in the winter and currently they belong to the twelfth place of the table. They can still think about the cups, they are ten points behind seventh-placed Wolverhampton.

Watford, on the other hand, is struggling, hasn’t won yet in 2022 and is in penultimate position. They are already six points behind seventeenth place, and Newcastle look set to pick up points fairly regularly in the latter part of the season.

Coutinho has shone so far since his return to the Isles, scoring twice and assisting in four games. Twenty-year-old Albion youth international Jacob Ramsey has also put in a pleasing performance, authoring five goals and one assist.

The visitors rely on the discovery of the season in the form of Emmanuel Dennis, who scored eight times and assisted five. Senegalese winger and this year’s AFCON winner Ismaila Sarr has five goals.

Aston Villa are not doing too well at home, taking just two points from their last three games at Villa Park, with draws against Leeds and Manchester United.

Watford’s attack has stopped working again. Dennis’ gunpowder has got wet and the Hornets have scored just one goal in the last six rounds.

Considering the good form of the Coutinho, Ramsey duo (who also get on very well) I think Aston Villa will win and score at least two goals.
