Watford vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips - 16th April 2022
Seeking to move into the top half of the EPL table, Brentford visit the Vicarage Road Stadium to face Watford on Saturday.
The Hornets are currently on a nine-game losing streak on home turf and will be desperate to end this horrid run.
Watford suffered yet another blow in their race against the drop as they fell to a disappointing 3-0 home loss against Leeds United last time out.
They have now failed to win all but one of their last seven games, losing five and claiming one draw in that time.
With 22 points from 31 games, Watford are currently bottom but one in the EPL table, just one point above last-placed Norwich City.
Brentford, meanwhile, made light work of West Ham United when the sides met last Sunday as they eased to a comfortable 2-0 victory.
They have now won each of their last two games, while picking up four wins from their last five since the start of March.
This fine run has seen Brentford rise to 13th place in the EPL standings, level on 36 points with Aston Villa and Southampton.
