Watford host reigning Premier League champions Leicester City at Vicarage Road on Saturday, as the visitors look to climb the table.
The game promises to be highly entertaining, as both sides have been involved in high-scoring games of late in the top-flight. The home side were hammered 6-1 at Liverpool last time out, but it was first defeat in five games in all competitions.
Prior to that defeat, the Hornets had kept three consecutive clean sheets in all competitions. Despite those recent clean sheets, whenever Watford plays at home there are usually goals. In fact, in six of the Hornets last seven home games, there has been over 2.5 goals scored.
The side from Hertfordshire have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten Premier League games on home soil, although that did come last time against Hull in a 1-0 win.
Leicester have endured an inconsistent season so far and away from home their games have also been goal-filled. Over 2.5 goals have been seen in 4 of Leicester City's last 5 away matches in Premier League.
The champions defence have also been generous in those games, conceding two or more goals in four of those games. On the plus side for Claudio Ranieri’s side, they have failed to score in just one of their last 14 away games in the top-flight.
A win could actually move the Foxes above Watford in the Premier League table. The omens for a Foxes victory are good, as the champions have won four of the last six meetings in all competitions, having lost just once in the process. However, Watford will not be easy opponents on home soil.
This game should be a highly entertaining encounter in the Premier League. Forebet predicts that there will be over 2.5 goals and at the moment that would look like a shrewd bet for this clash.
