Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Tottenham and Watford and offers team stats and betting tips with the latest odds.
Tottenham aim to keep their perfect start to the season going in a Premier League match against Watford on Sunday.
Nuno Espirito Santo has won all two of his Premier League games as Spurs manager 1-0. While the Lilywhites only scored a goal in each match, Harry Kane’s expected return to the line-up could change that. It should leave them confident in facing the newly promoted Watford.
The visitors have had a mixed start on their return to the Premier League. Watford began with a bang by beating Aston Villa 3-2 in their season opener before losing at Brighton last time out. In Spurs, though, lies their toughest test so far.
Let’s have a look at the form of both sides and the stats from their previous encounters to come up with a reasonable betting prediction.
