Premier League – Watford to face Brentford on Match-day 33

Saturday at Vicarage Road, as Watford host Brentford in the Premier League.

Currently sitting in thirteenth place, Brentford will travel to Watford, who are six places lower in the League and sit in nineteenth place.

Struggling Watford, welcome fancied their opponents this Saturday

Roy Hodgson will not wish to see his side lose three matches in a row, so they will doubtless go into this match, determined to change their recent, disappointing run of form.

Also, With 14 defeats in the last 19 matches, Roy Hodgson’s Watford are justifiably in the bottom half of the table, very much looking at a relegation battle. Their position is nineteenth in the League and they have 22 points, that is, 6W, 21L and 4D having won six meetings, drawn four games, and lost 21 matches.

Watford have won two matches, drawn one game, and lost 12 fixtures of their 15 League matches at home this season.

Victory for Watford would take their points tally to 25 so far this season.

Watford may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.

Brentford have 36 points to their name, going into this tie

Thomas Frank will hope that success brings further success, as his side look for another win in a row. Their last two outings resulted in victories against West Ham United and Chelsea.

Also, With 36 points, they currently sit thirteenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 10 wins, 16 losses and 6 draws having won 10 games, drawn six games, and lost 16 matches.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to four victories, four darts, and eight losses, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Brentford as they travel once more.

A victory for Brentford would put them on 39 points.

Brentford’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Thomas Frank, ahead of this Saturday’s fixture against their opponents.
