After a brilliant performance last season, where Watford won the right to play in the strongest division, something went wrong in the current championship. The start in the League Cup was unsuccessful, where the Hornets went through only the first stage, after which they stumbled in a duel with Stoke City (1:3). In the Premier League championship the wards of Claudio Ranieri, who led the team already in the course of the tournament, chalked up 14 points after 19 rounds and only 17th position in the standings. The line of defense looks terrible, which differed 37 times. After four defeats in a row, the Yellow Army opened 2022 with one defeat against Tottenham (0:1) and a draw with Newcastle (1:1). Before this fight the hosts have losses. Etebo, Sarr, Nkulu and Baa, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to enter the field. Luza, Trost-Ekong and Masina left for the African Cup.
Last weekend Betis successfully held a match in the Spanish Cup, in which they knocked out fellow countrymen from Sevilla from the tournament and made their way to the next stage of this championship. It is worth noting that the game started on Saturday, but because of the hooligan antics of the fans, it was stopped and ended on Sunday. The team successfully passed the group stage in the Europa League, where the “white-greens” chalked up three wins and a draw, which brought them a ticket to the playoffs. In the La Liga championship, the Beticos won 11 victories and four peaceful outcomes over 21 rounds, which corresponded to 37 points and third position. It is impossible not to note the second best indicator of the team in the attack line, which differed 37 times. The team’s top scorer is Haunmee with 12 goals. Today Akuoku, Bartra, Joaquin and Montoya, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to take part in the fight. More accurate soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
