Watford hosts Crystal Palace in round 18 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 23rd at Vicarage Road (Watford)
Watford is again balancing between the Premier League and the Championship. It is difficult for the club to withstand competition in the strongest division, but it looks quite confident in the tournament with a lower rank. Now the Hornets are in 18th place in the standings and have to fight for survival. The gap to the 17th line is four points. And given the fact that Watford needs to overtake Everton or Newcastle, there is little chance of salvation. In the last round, the Hornets managed to unexpectedly beat Aston Villa away (0-1), although the hosts had a significant advantage. Thus, Watford interrupted a streak of 12 matches without victories in all tournaments. Two players will not help the Hornets in the upcoming game due to injuries.

Crystal Palace is in an obvious recession. The team has not won six championship games in a row, and the last victory was gained last year. Despite a streak of failures, the danger of relegation looks minimal. The Glaziers are in 13th place and have an 8-point gap from the danger zone. In the last round, they lacked a little to gain a draw in the derby against Chelsea. The only goal was conceded in the 89th minute. Crystal Palace will not be able to count on one player in the upcoming confrontation.
Both teams have shown weak results and scored little lately. The bookmakers give a small advantage to the visitors, although this is the case when the fans will watch anyone’s game. The Hornets will try to build on their success, as the opponents are not so strong. But we do not expect to see spectacular football and recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
