Watford hosts Arsenal in round 5 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, September 15th at Vicarage Road (Watford)
Having held the last season unconvincingly, Watford started the current one extremely poorly. In 4 rounds, only 1 point was gained, thanks to a draw with Newcastle. Therefore, the change of the head coach is completely logical (now Kike Flores leads the team). However, you should not expect that the Hornets will immediately begin to show a positive result. The team has a lot of problems, which cannot be solved in any way for the upcoming round. Watford shows a weak game in attack, without due audacity and sharpness. In the center of the field, Watford seems to be trying to impose a fight, but it does not manage to deliver the ball to the foreign penalty area quickly.

The London club began the season with two victories, but those victories were pretty tough. Arsenal demonstrates an unconfident game so far. There are high-level performers in the attack, but they do not show all their potential so far. The Gunners do not have the necessary coherence both in attack and in defense. In the attack, Arsenal still lacks the individual skill of the players to gain points with the middle-class teams, but due to the lack of quick team combinations, the Londoners have reduced their performance. As for the upcoming game, the Gunners are likely to play relying on a higher level of the team, which will surely not lead to a scoring match.
Both clubs do not understand what kind of football they play so far. Both one and the other have not been able to build the desired game ahead to the full extent. In the home field and with a new coach, Watford will try to impose a fight, but given the class of the opponent, the Hornets should primarily focus on the defense of their goal. It’s also not worth waiting for the scoring extravaganza from Arsenal, especially away. Therefore, I suggest betting on Under 3.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
