Watford take on the visitors Burnley in the round 3 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, August 12th at Vicarage Road (Watford).
Watford are still the "football lift". The "Hornets" with enviable tenacity shied away between the divisions of Albion. And its owners, the Pozzo family, add to the instability by constantly removing the coach without much motivation. Last season was spent in the Premier League, but, as in previous similar cases, everything ended with an instant relegation. Another new manager, Rob Edwards, was assigned to return the club back to elite. The Welshman made his debut in London with a victory over Sheffield United - then the only goal was scored by Joao Pedro. But with West Bromwich on the road limited to a draw 1-1.

Burnley returned to the Championship after a long spell in the Premier League. The Clarets were Sean Dyche’s team. He managed to lift the project from the Championship twice already and even climbed into European competitions with his wards. And, most importantly, with frankly weak, limited opportunities, this manager kept the team in the Premier League ... Except last year - although, perhaps, the management decided in vain to fire the local legend? There are doubts about the fact that Vincent Kompany will be able to quickly rebuild the team and return it back to the "elite". Not everything worked out for the Belgian with his native Anderlecht... Nevertheless, due to Matsen's goal, the ex-captain of Manchester City managed to return to the football of Albion with a minimal victory. Moreover, strong Huddersfield was beaten on his field, even 1-0. But then with Luton, on Turf Moor, they limited themselves to 1 point, playing 1-1.
Watford last won 4 years ago, in August 2018. After that, Burnley had 3 wins and 2 draws, including the Clarets took 4 points in the last Premier League draw. Both teams started the new season identically: they scored once in each of the 2 rounds and conceded one goal. So it begs to bet "total under 2.5".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
