Watford - Middlesbrough Preview & Tip
In today's meeting between Watford and Middlesbrough,on beautiful Vicarage Road, I will try to show you a situation where there are two teams, and probably themselves the outcome of this game. The situation in the Championship is heating up and will be very tough to the end. There are many good teams but in my opinion the top 3 are: the two who will today play a very good match, and Bournemouth which is certainly surprised everyone this season.
Watford is in fourth place, and late for Middlesbrough by only 2 points. Located above Brentford and Derby but those two teams aren't so important much, because this match can decide everything, whether it be in the Premier League or trough the Playoffs they'll try to accomplish promotion.
Watford enters the match after five very tough matches. The first of these five have played against dangerous Wolves who are preety good last month. There have managed to extract one point. The next two matches they won against Wigan and Reading, relatively easy matches and it is expected of them to get this. Now they follow heavy matches. At this time of the year, they should show their teeth and who they really are. In the last 2 fixtures they drew only point away against Derby, while the home lost to Ipswich. Watford this year is very bad in the game with direct rivals for promotion. Watford makes a run and when they play against big rivals(Derby, Ipswich, Norwich, Wolves, Bournemouth,) Their score in this matches is 0-3-7. Slavisa Jokanovic is not the man for big games.
Middlesbrough on the other side is impressive. They are sitting on a 1st spot and look great ahead this match. Looking at their offensive ratio, they are a bit over average, but their defensive end with Gibson and Woodgate. Their team is mix-up from young and strong, and old but experienced guys. Younger guys are led by Bamford. He is amazing this season and he just can't stop scoring. Last 5 matches he scored 4 goals. He's still 21 years old and England will have amazing scorer in next few years. He plays at Central Forward position just behind Vossen or Kike. Also one young player is in first 11, and in my opinion he is weakest player in Boro. It is loaned player from Chelsea, Kalas. In a important match against Bournemouth he fouled player inside the box, and his, right side was preety bad that match. After a loss against Bournemouth, few days later they beat Wigan at home 1:0. It should be 3:0 but Wigans defenders that match were impressive.
Watford knows how important this match is. So they ensured that Vicarage Road must be full. They sad their season ticket holders to tell them that they are not coming. You see how much important is this for them? games. Middlesbrough coach, Aitor Karanka, praised they last meeting on their home turf. He sad that first half of that match is their best play ever. Altough game ended 1:1 he was still happy with the result. games.
Tough,important, strong game in front of us. Too hard to say anything. Watford has scored too much goals, so they should score here. But if we talk about final result I must say Middlesbrough. We have two options here:
Bet: Middlesbrough to win @3.00 Alternative bet: Both Teams to Score and 2.5 Over @2.15
