Brentford hosts Watford in round 16 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, December 10th at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
Brentford is one of the most hardboiled teams in the Premier League, and it often plays a dirty trick on it. The team scored 13 times but conceded as many as 17 goals in the last ten matches. And if we look at the state of things in the standings, Brentford's advantage over the relegation zone is only seven points. The Bees are taking 13th place, but it does not give peace of mind so far. It is also worth noting that Thomas Frank's charges scored 19 times and conceded 21 goals in 15 rounds of the current championship. And in general, if you analyze the attacking actions of Brentford, you can only admire them — the players left the field without scoring in only two of the last ten games, failing to upset only Chelsea and Tottenham. The performance is quite impressive.

Watford shows super-productive play under the management of Ranieri. The Hornets are not afraid to play offensive football and often score even against the teams of higher rank, such as Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Leicester. In addition, if we take into account a quite difficult calendar, Watford players are keeping their chins up. In the last ten games, they left the field without a goal only four times, even though they faced the aforementioned Manchester teams, Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. I think that Claudio Ranieri will shift away from his philosophy and choose offensive tactics.
Brentford and Watford are zealously trying to gain a foothold in the elite of English football. And their zeal in the attack often leads to productive matches. If we look at the last five head-to-head matches, the exchange of goals scored took place four times. In addition, the situation in the standings obliges the teams to go ahead and earn points. As it was already noted earlier, Brentford is ahead of the nearest team from the relegation zone by only seven points, and Watford has an even smaller advantage (three points). Therefore, the teams' motivation will be extremely high, which should lead to a goal-scoring and open match with an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
