Leicester v Watford: Goals Tip
The likes of Vydra, Abdi, Nugent and Wood make for a high likelihood of goals in this first leg.
A play-off semi-final that pits the top scorers in the Championship against the team who had the most attempts and shots on target looks like it should be entertaining. WilliamHill offer market-leading odds of 10/11 on there being over 2.5 goals in the match and that looks like a snip.
Our value comes from the fact that Watford aren’t just the top scorers in the division with 85 goals in 46 matches, they also found the net more often away from Vicarage Road. The Hornets recorded 2-1 victories in both fixtures against Leicester during the regular season - a scoreline that would obviously win us our wager if repeated on Thursday.
For their part, Leicester were the second highest goalscorers in the division on their own patch with 46 successful strikes in 23 matches in front of their own fans. Having had a grand total of 567 efforts on goal in 2012-13, 325 of which were on target, that tally could easily have been even better.
