Wolverhampton Wanderers host Watford in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, March 10th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
Wolverhampton is ranked eighth in the Premier League standings with 40 points after 27 matches. The men of the Portuguese specialist Bruno Lage have been close to the European competition zone for a long time, but recently they have slowed down (three defeats in the last three matches). Now the Wolves are five points behind West Ham, so there is no more room for error. They scored 24 goals and conceded 23 times. Last weekend, the Wanderers again disappointed their fans, losing to unmotivated Crystal Palace at home (0-2). However, Wolverhampton did not convert several dangerous chances, while the Glaziers doubled their advantage thanks to a quite controversial penalty. The club's top scorer is Mexican striker Raul Jimenez who scored five goals. In the winter transfer window, Adama Traore left the Wolves and moved to Barcelona. He was replaced by Chiquinho from Estoril. Only Nelson Semedo won’t help Wolverhampton in the upcoming game.

In early October, Watford’s management dismissed Xisco Munoz and invited Claudio Ranieri to the coaching post. However, the Italian did not succeed in Foggy Albion. The Hornets suffered seven defeats in a row, and the patience of the club bosses ran out after a 3-0 loss to Norwich. As a result, Roy Hodgson became the new head coach. Now Watford is taking the penultimate 19th line in the standings, having only 19 points. The team scored 27 goals and conceded 49 times. In the last 16 matches, the Golden Boys gained only one victory. Last weekend, they lost to Arsenal at home (2-3). Defender Nicolas N’koulou and Senegalese striker Ismaila Sarr won’t help Watford in the game against Wolverhampton.
These teams have already crossed paths in the first round of the current championship, and then the Wolves defeated the opponent at Vicarage Road (0-2). In the last four head-to-head matches, Watford suffered three defeats and won only once. It happened back in January 2020 (2-1). The teams have very different tasks for the rest of the season. The Wolves are trying to get into the European competition zone, while the Hornets are fighting for survival. It seems that there is no better opportunity to break a streak of three consecutive defeats for Bruno Lage’s team. We bet on the hosts to win.
Prediction for the match: Wolverhampton to win
