Tottenham v Watford betting tips: Hornets bid to end London hex

Watford defeated Villa 3-2 on their return to the Premier League but were beaten 2-0 at Brighton last weekend.

Like Tottenham, who played in the Europa Conference League play-offs in midweek, Watford were also in action, defeating Crystal Palace 1-0 in the League Cup.

Watford have lost each of their last seven Premier League away games, failing to score on five occasions in that run.

They are 15/2 to win the game while the draw, which has occurred in three of their last four meetings, is on offer at 7/2 in the Tottenham v Watford betting tips.

Tottenham v Watford head-to-head

Watford have scored on each of their last three trips to Tottenham, including their last meeting which resulted in a 1-1 draw – their third stalemate in the last four clashes.

It is 24/5 the games ends in a score draw again and it is 5/6 they net at least one goal.

Watford have won just one of the last 18 games against Spurs (D5 L12) – and that clash was at Vicarage Road in September 2018.

The Hornets are 19/10 to either win or draw the game in the Double Chance market in the Tottenham v Watford betting tips.

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, who was on target against Manchester City, has scored five goals in nine Premier League appearances against Watford and is 21/20 to score at any time.

Nine of their previous 14 meetings saw both sides find the net and it is 21/20 this is the case again.

Tottenham v Watford key battles

Watford have won just two of their last 22 away league games in London (D4 L16) and won’t welcome Dele Alli’s return to form.

Having been in the wilderness under Jose Mourinho, he is once again showing plenty of confidence and scored his first Premier League goal in 533 days against Wolves last time out, ending a run of 19 top-flight appearances without a goal.

Alli has six goals in his last nine games against Watford and is 2/1 to score at any time and 11/2 to grab the first goal in the Tottenham v Watford betting tips.
