TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Brighton remain an extremely difficult team to beat but they still find trouble killing games off. The fact is they making too many draws and cannot hope to challenge in this fashion. In the last 15 games they have 9 draws which is far too many. They are not scoring freely but that has always been their main problem. Defensively they are strong and with Leicester have the best record in the division. Brighton will be fresher than most having not played since December 18^th. The prolonged break has allowed Andrea Orlandi, Bruno and Gary Dicker time to recover.

Watford are in great form and with only one loss in ten games Gianfranco Zola is making an impressive fist of it. With six wins from the ten games Watford have surged up the table. This period has seen many of the top teams played too so the run proves to be no flash in the pan. Watford have also had a few extra days to recover as their Boxing Day clash was postponed. Marco Cassetti sits out suspended so Ikechi Anya will likely deputise. Watford have no new injury worries.

BRIGHTON - WATFORD PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The Draw 3.64 (Pinnacle) is the selection. This is a very difficult match to call with two very tough sides facing off. Neither likes to lose games and the last few months both have proven difficult to beat. Zola takes on Poyet in a clash between two very good footballing sides. Its too tough to call but Pinnacle again provide massive value on the draw. Some bookmakers quote 3.20 on the tie here so 3.64 is great value. Brighton have 10 draws from 23 already and this looks like another.

BRIGHTON - WATFORD:ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Brighton is the pick here at -0.25 (1.81 ladbrokes) Its a very tough game to call and I see a slight advantage in the home side. Brighton are a very difficult side to beat. With this bet if the game is drawn we get half stake back and lose the other half. I expect a high scoring game so its possible Brighton could sneak one.

BRIGHTON - WATFORD:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.80 (Unibet) is the bet here. Brighton are usually very tight at both ends but Watford are usually very free scoring and open. Goals seem on the cards as these two go head to head. Very hard to call again and the bookies cannot separate the overs and unders either. Total average is 2.74 goals per game.Last 10 matches has seen 6 games go Over 2.5, with a total of 30 goals for an average of 3.00 goals per game.
