Statistically everything points to a score draw, but we will have to see.
With trusty moving on, I hope that we will be defensively better. I have way more confidence in Souttar at the back than I would with the former. Souttar, Ahmedhodzic and Moore offer a physical, aerial threat from set pieces that we have lacked for a while as well.
Will be interesting to see how we set up with several midfield options available. I personally expect Moore up top with two players wide of him again, I have to admit however than I’m not overly fond of seeing Hamer out wide, although he does link up well with Burrows. Regardless though we need to surround Moore with outlets and options as opposed to putting him up top and expecting him to weather a storm alone. So we need direct runs through the middle of the park to create ‘10s’ and play off him.
Watford are a form team and they will have a bit of confidence in them because it has been working, but I don’t think we need to fear them if we stick to our own game. Jebbo doesn’t fear me in the slightest, despite returning player syndrome.
Stats say score draw, I say Home win with perhaps BTTS.
