Watford v Man Utd betting tips: United attempt to get back on track

For Watford, it’s looking like their 5-2 victory over Everton was just a flash in the pan and they have now lost three of Claudio Ranieri’s four games in charge.  

The Hornets are 11/2 to cause a shock here, while a welcome win for the Red Devils is 8/15 in Watford v Man Utd betting tips.  

Watford have only picked up one point at home since their opening-day victory over Aston Villa and a share of the spoils here is 17/5.  

The Hornets have drawn a blank in their last two and United will be eyeing up a clean sheet at 7/5, with a victory to nil 7/4.  

Watford’s last two games have seen them lose 1-0 and it is 7/1 for United to grind a result out to that scoreline in Watford v Man Utd betting tips.

Watford v Man Utd head-to-head 

United have won seven of the last eight games between these two, while Watford have won just twice against the Red Devils in the last 20 years.  

However, one of those victories came in their last clash here at Vicarage Road, with Ismaila Sarr and Troy Deeney finding the scoresheet in a 2-0 victory.  

That was one of five goals Sarr scored in the 2019/20 season, but he has taken his game to another level since and is already up to four goals for the season.  

The Senegal international bagged twice for his country last weekend and he is 11/4 to continue his good form with a goal at anytime in our Watford v Man Utd betting tips. 

Watford v Man Utd key battles 

Manchester United have looked a side without a plan in recent games, but it is foolish to doubt their attacking talents and the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo.  

He has four Premier League goals from eight appearances since returning to Old Trafford and following a quiet international break is 5/2 to break the deadlock here. 

It’s 11/10 for the Portuguese forward to have two or more shots on target in a Man Utd win, with 9/2 available for him to have five shots, his compatriot Bruno Fernandes to provide an assist and a Red Devils success.

Although losing their last two, Watford have looked slightly more resolute in defence of late.

However, an early goal for the visitors could open the floodgates and it is 17/10 for United to be winning after 30 minutes and 23/20 for a Red Devils victory and over 2.5 goals.
