Free Everton vs Watford EPL Prediction:
So far, both Watford and Everton are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season Watford ranks 19th in attacking area possessions, with Everton sitting 14th. Heading into this game, something has to give, as both the Leeds United and Chelsea FC rank well in generated attacking possessions and attacking possessions allowed. So far, Leeds-United has given up 5372 possessions near the goal (6th) compared to London at 3rd (4507).
Even though Everton is the heavy favorite in this game, the two teams are statistically very similar, each ranking near the league average in boths goals scored and goals allowed. These similarities continue as both squads are near the top of the league in passing completion.
In terms of betting the clear value play is taking Watford, as they should be able to hang tough against Everton. I see the best play taking Watford as along shot to pull off the upset.
