Hornets Rise High Enough To Sting Magpies
It's easy to look at these games and think Newcastle need a win so they'll win. It doesn't always work like that otherwise no team would ever get relegated.
In another belligerent set of Premier League odds, the powers that be have Watford as outsiders to win at Newcastle today - a best price 9/5 shot with Skybet.
I’ve made the mistake of underrating the Hornets perhaps more than any other side this season to date and this is an opportunity to put that right to some extent.
Javi Gracia has masterminded another bright start for Watford and has actually surpassed his predecessors to record their highest points tally after 10 matches in any top flight campaign.
This showdown is 7th versus 19th and the underlying statistics indicate that the table isn’t really lying. Watford rank 9th for shots on target and 4th for shots conceded whereas the Magpies sit 16th and 17th for those respective metrics.
Odds correct at time of publishing: 09:23 3rd Nov, 2018 but subject to change
