Brighton & Hove Albion welcome the visitors Watford in the English Premiere League – Round 25. The match will be held on Saturday, February, 2nd, at the Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton & Hove Albion feature a very tough calendar this campaign. Manchester United and Liverpool exhausted the team, and Fulham have finally downed them. Thus, the ‘Seagulls’ lost in 3 consecutive rounds; yet before, they competed with the ‘Pensioners’ and ‘Gunners’ at home. So, over the span of 4 weeks, Brighton faced 4 English Premiere League toppers, and they put much effort into those clashes. Overall, the ‘Seagulls’ are conceding a lot. In 24 rounds, they were defeated 12 times. They sit 13th in the table with a goal difference of -9. They are not threatened by relegation so far, even if they lose in the coming encounter against Watford. The hosts’ defense makes many mistakes in danger zones, which gives the visitors more conversion chances.

The travelling side have suffered their first loss in this year, though they opposed Tottenham Hotspur that obviously outclass them. Anyways, Watford find themselves in the upper table. In 7 outings (all competitions), they lost only once. Tellingly, in 24 matchups, Watford scored 33 goals. Their attack is good, Ricardo Pereira and Troy Deeney are there, and they will contribute to the team’s success. Noteworthy, Watford’s goal difference in away fixtures is +1. The guests are good at handling balls in the air and create enough opportunities for long-rangers.
The hosts are in bad form ahead of the kick-off, as their previous encounters took great effort. Comparing the hosts and the visitors, the latter demonstrate better performance in this season. The common thing is that both sides are good at set-pieces, while both struggle in defense. As far as attack is concerned, Watford are scoring a lot; in the last 5 trips (all tournaments), they made 10 goals. In the previous head-to-head, Watford won Brighton, 2:0.
Prediction for the match: Watford to win or Draw.
