Arsenal is ranked sixth in the standings with 45 points. Mikel Arteta's team has 14 victories, three draws, and seven losses after 24 matches. After a disastrous January segment with five matches without victories in all tournaments, the Gunners stabilized the situation in the Premier League. In the last three rounds, they scored the maximum possible nine points. Arsenal coped with Brentford (2:1) and defeated Wolverhampton twice within two weeks (0-1 away and 2-1 at home). The Gunners conceded an early goal against the Wolves at the Emirates Stadium on 24 February, but pulled out the victory at the end of the 2nd half. Nicolas Pepe equalized in the 82nd minute, and Wolverhampton defender José Sa turned the ball into his own net in added time.
In the current championship, the teams competed in the 11th round on November 7, 2021. The confrontation at the Emirates Stadium ended in favor of the home team (1-0). Emil Smith Rowe became the author of the only goal. Watford is the worst team in the league in terms of home results. In 13 home matches, the Hornets limited themselves to two victories and one draw. Moreover, they didn’t earn a single point in the last seven games. In such a situation, Watford is unlikely to take points in the upcoming match with Arsenal, which has got out of the crisis. The Gunners achieved the desired result in the last match, having managed to breach the powerful defense of Wolverhampton. In the game against Watford, it will be easier for Arsenal’s attack to convert chances since the Hornets concede an average of more than one goal per match even under Hodgson.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap
