Watford hosts Aston Villa in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 28th at Vicarage Road (Watford)
Last season, Watford proved to be a quite strong middle peasant. The team completed its performance in 11th place. It showed a very good result in the offseason as part of friendly matches. But Watford is one of the main outsiders in the new season of the Premier League. To date, the club is in penultimate place in the standings. The team managed to gain only two victories, and the second one happened in the round before last. The first one took place in November when Watford managed to cope with Norwich (2-0). The Hornets played in the minority from the second half but managed to maintain the result. In addition to this, Watford gained seven draw results and earned thirteen points. The main reason for such a bad game is the attack. Watford scored only twelve goals this season. Of course, there are problems in defense, but they are not as critical as in the offensive line. Most likely, the team will return to the lower division, from where it came not so long ago. The last two games ended with positive results. The Hornets gained home victory over Man United (2-0) and tied with Sheffield united away (1-1). Nevertheless, the team is far from stability.

Aston Villa held the last season in the Championship, where it took fifth place in the end. This allowed the team to participate in the promotion playoffs. Having dealt with West Bromwich and beaten Derby County, the Lions managed to get into the main championship of the country. So far, the club has not gained much success in the Premier League. Today it is in 18th place in the relegation zone. Aston Villa has been striving for a return to the main championship for very a long time, but now it risks falling to the lower league again. The team has five wins, three draws, and eleven defeats. It managed to cope not only with outsiders of the Premier League but also beat the middle peasants. The first victory took place at the beginning of the season when the club could easily cope with Everton (2-0). After that, Aston Villa managed to win two victories in a row over Norwich (5:1) and Brighton (2:1). At the end of November, it coped with Newcastle 2-0, and the last victory was gained in the last round. The Lions beat Norwich again (1-0), and they will be very motivated to develop a good streak.
The bookmakers believe that Watford will win the upcoming game. However, the hosts managed to gain only two victories over the entire new season, which may indicate that the club is not combative. On the other hand, Aston Villa, which has just come from the Championship, has many more achievements, including in the FA Cup. Therefore, this club has every chance of winning the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win
