Wolves – Watford Preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers were beaten 2-0 at home by Crystal Palace on Saturday as a third consecutive Premier League (PL) defeat further dented their European qualification hopes. Manager Bruno Lage was disappointed after his side’s poor first-half performance set the tone, and with good reason – they’ve lost all five league games this term in which they trailed at the break.
The last four of those defeats came here, so he’ll be urging his side to start well against relegation-threatened Watford, to whom they’ve only lost one of the last five H2Hs at Molineux (W2, D2). When Wolves start well, they prosper, winning all five home league games in which they netted first this term, but the opposite is also true: they’ve lost all six after conceding first ‘to nil’!
As Watford have conceded the opener in 70% of their PL matches this season (W1, D2, L16), they’re used to battling from behind, just as they did against Arsenal on Sunday (L 3-2). although manager Roy Hodgson claimed they couldn’t have done much better. Encouraging performances aren’t enough though, as they need points to avoid losing touch with teams above them.
Unusually for a side in the relegation zone, the ‘Hornets’ have registered 63% of their points this term away from home and have lost just one of their last five PL away trips (W1, D3). Clean sheets against Aston Villa (W 1-0) and Manchester United (D 0-0) recently should inspire confidence at Molineux, where they’ve scored in six of their last seven visits (W2, D3, L2).
Players to watch: Raúl Jiménez (WOL) has scored twice between the 40th and 65th minute in six appearances against Watford, while João Pedro scored Watford’s only goal in two of his last four competitive away appearances.
Hot stat: Watford are the only team yet to score between half-time and the 60th minute in the PL this term.
