Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Watford, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Watford to win and both teams to score | 3/1 | Watford have been solid on home soil, beating Southampton 2-1 and drawing 1-1 with West Ham at Vicarage Road, and they face a Preston side in poor shape, the visitors having lost four of their five Championship games and shipped 10 goals in the process. Both teams to score is well supported: both of Watford’s home league games have seen both sides net, while Preston have found the net in four of their five outings but keep leaking at the other end. With Watford fancied at home and Preston both scoring and conceding freely, a home win with goals at both ends stacks up nicely. |
| Luca Kjerrumgaard and Johnny Kenny to both score anytime | 21/2 | Luca Kjerrumgaard has already opened his account for Watford this season and leads the line against a Preston defence that has conceded 10 goals in five league games, so the striker is a tempting anytime pick at Vicarage Road. Johnny Kenny gives Preston a fresh attacking option up top, and the visitors have scored in four of their five Championship matches this term, offering him a platform against a Watford side beaten in each of its last two. With both forwards spearheading their attacks and both defences there to be got at, backing the pair to find the net holds appeal. |

Watford were beaten 1-0 at West Brom last time out, a narrow away defeat. Vicarage Road is where their points must be won.
