Watford vs Stoke City Predictions, 28 Oct 2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
0-1
Watford v Stoke City Predictions for Saturday's 3.00pm kick-off league fixture set to see Watford host a Stoke City side at Vicarage Road. Watford are creating club history this season, and are currently on their best opening run of 9 games in the PL era.
This fixture has not seen over 3.5 goals scored since March 2004. No less than 10 games have been played between the sides since then.
If Watford score first, then the omens are good for them. Each of their last 4 wins over Stoke have been by 1+ goal to nil.
A win for Stoke today would see them match their existing record of 3 consecutive away wins at Watford. They last achieved this in 3 games between March 2003 and December 2004.
Curiously, the record for away sides in this fixture since Oct 2002 is W9, D2, L3!
It is in Stoke’s best interests to avoid conceding first, with their last away win after losing the first goal coming all the way back in 21/2/2015.
Only 1 of Watford’s last 8 home wins has been by a margin of more than 1 goal – that was 2-0 win over West Brom on 4/4/2017.
Stoke City: Butland - Cameron, Shawcross, Zouma - Pieters, Fletcher, Allen, Diouf - Shaqiri, Choupo-Moting - Jese (3-4-2-1 formation)
