Watford hosts Leicester City in round 30 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 20th at Vicarage Road (Watford)
The current season is very ambiguous for Watford. The Hornets are 17th in the standings, and only the slightly better goal difference separates them from the relegation zone. Watford and Bournemouth have the same number of points - 27. Today's hosts scored only 27 goals in 29 rounds and conceded 44 times. To put it mildly, the results are not impressive. Before the break, Nigel Pearson's men played inexpressively, having lost in four of six last matches in the league. Now the Hornets will host an extremely dangerous rival, which offers battle to any club from the Premier League. Besides, Watford cannot count one of the leaders of the team, Gerard Deulofeu, which will significantly weaken the organizational actions and attacking potential. It is unlikely that Watford will achieve even a draw, not to mention victory.

The Foxes look perfect this season, and their football even resembles the one with which they unexpectedly won the Premier League not so long ago. Jamie Vardi certainly plays like then - the 33-year-old Englishman is very effective and scoring this year. He has already 19 goals and a couple of assists. With this result, he leads the list of Premier League scorers, being ahead of Aubameyang by two, and Salah and Aguero by three goals. The young Belgian Thielemans, who became one of the strategically important players of Leicester, perfectly fit into the team. Casper Schmeichel has defended the net for a long time, and he is one of the few who stayed in the team after the champion year (along with Vardi). The Foxes cannot count only on Peres, but Iheanacho has easily replaced him for a long time. With such players, Leicester definitely looks like the favorite of this meeting.
We will see the meeting of the teams from different poles of the standings. Leicester looks much more preferable than its current opponent does, both in the game and in the level of performers. It is unlikely that something dramatically changed in Watford’s situation after the break, and it played extremely unstable even before that. The team may beat Liverpool (3-0), but it loses to Everton (which played in the minority) or Crystal Palace. The Hornets’ place in the standings is deserved and justified. Therefore, I don’t think that a sensation will happen in the upcoming match. I will bet on the victory of Leicester.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
