Crystal Palace vs Watford
English Premier League
Date: Tuesday, 12th December 2017
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Selhurst Park (London).

Crystal Palace are getting better and better with every game they play under the management of Roy Hodgson. The team remains at the foot of the table after the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, but they are unbeaten in five games and their distance to safety is just 3 points away.

Having improved the morale and confidence, Hodgson will want his men to build up on the momentum and take full advantage of the fixtures at home turf.

On the other hand, Watford are going down the slide and are without a win in three games. Moreover, the team lost 5 of their last 8 games, having suffered just one defeat in the first 8 games of the season.

Marco Silva’s priority will be to get back to winning ways. But his team’s chances could be minimal with 8 players out with injuries. And the situation is made worse with Marvin Zeegelaar seeing red in the 1-0 defeat at Burnley on the weekend.

Crystal Palace vs Watford: Head-to-head

Out of the four Premier League meetings between the two clubs, Palace won 2 and Watford 1 along with a draw.

At home, Palace have an excellent h2h record with 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 9 matches in all competitions.

Crystal Palace vs Watford: Prediction

The three point is vital for both teams at the moment for two obvious reasons. Palace want to move out of the danger zone and Watford want the same to put an end to their bad run of results.

Judging by the recent performances, I believe Crystal Palace are the team in better shape. They do have a number of missing personal since the start of the season, but Hodgson had managed to squeeze out results with the minimal resources he had at hand.

The same cannot be said in the case of the Hornets. The absence of Miguel Britos and Zeegelaar along with a number of players in the nursing table could dent their chances here.
