Watford hosts Crystal Palace in round 16 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 7th at Vicarage Road (Watford)
Watford is completely different from what it was in the last season when it had an excellent chance of getting into the Europa League but missed it after losing in the last three rounds. It’s hard to say whether the team just managed to succeed, or whether this affected the players psychologically, hence the results. The Hornets are the main losers in the Premier League, as they occupy the last place with eight points. The men of Hayden Mullins (interim manager) play show a terrible game even in their field, where they often earned points with tops: zero wins, three draws, and four losses.

Crystal Palace managed to break its five-match winless streak, having beat Bournemouth and Burnley in the last two rounds (1-0 and 2-0, respectively). This allowed the Eagles to rise to 7th position, reducing the gap from the European Cup zone to two points. It is worth noting that the team of Roy Hodgson is more stable in away matches than in its field, judging by the results: three wins, one draw and three losses (the sixth indicator in the league).
As for me, bookmakers underestimate Crystal Palace, preferring Watford. Perhaps they do it because the Hornets will play in their field. But, as I have already noted, this is not an advantage for them. Therefore, you should not pay attention to this: Crystal Palace looks preferable in this pair, judging by the current game shape of these teams, stability, and squads. Truth be told, I would not risk betting on its clear victory, but I’ll better take “a zero handicap” for a very good coefficient, with a little reinsurance.
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace to win with 0.0 handicap
