Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs a home win to nil.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Yousef Salech to score anytime | 1/1 (Paddy Power) | Yousef Salech leads the Cardiff line and comes up against a Watford defence that has conceded in every away game and shipped four at home to Burnley last time out. The Bluebirds are unbeaten at home and should carve out chances against visitors low on confidence. Salech is their focal point and the likeliest to profit. At evens to score anytime, the striker is the standout pick against a leaky, out-of-sorts Watford. |
| Cardiff City to win to nil | 5/2 (bet365) | Watford have lost their last three and failed to score in four games this season, while Cardiff are yet to taste defeat at home, winning one and drawing three there. With the visitors offering so little going forward and the hosts solid on their own patch, a clean-sheet home win is a real possibility. A controlled Cardiff victory without conceding fits the form. At 5/2, Cardiff to win to nil is the value call. |
