Watford vs Crystal Palace - 23/02/2022

Eight points separate Watford and Crystal Palace in the Premier League table. On Wednesday, Watford will welcome Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road in a major six-point affair.
Watford are 18th in the Premier League table following an impressive 1-0 away win versus Aston Villa last time out. Roy Hodgson has changed the Hornets and there is a chance they can survive the drop.
Crystal Palace are 13th in the Premier League table. Patrick Vieira’s team is winless in six straight matches in the league. Although Crystal Palace have been exciting to watch, they are simply not winning games.
The home team is undefeated in five straight games in all competitions. Although these teams have not met in the Premier League in 2021-22, Watford and Crystal Palace played in the EFL Cup. The Hornets won 1-0 thanks to a second half goal from Ashley Fletcher.
Crystal Palace took a mere three points from the last 18 points available in the Premier League. They scored just five goals and conceded nine times across the last six matches.
Watford were little better across those six matches. They picked up five points from the last 18 points available in the division. They scored just two goals in those six matches.
Hodgson could be without six players for the game on Wednesday night. Nicolas Nkoulou is ruled out of the match with a thigh injury. Samir could miss the game due to a head injury.
Meanwhile, Watford players Juraj Kucka, Joao Pedro, and Peter Etebo could all return from injuries. Forward Emmanuel Dennis experienced some cramps last time out, but should be available to play. Dennis scored the winner against Aston Villa.
Vieira is unlikely to have goalkeeper Vincente Guaita. The goalkeeper is nursing a knee injury. His absence would be a massive absence as Guaita has been one of Crystal Palace’s best players all season.
Conor Gallager will be available after missing last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Chelsea. He was unable to face his parent club. Nathan Ferguson is ruled out with a leg injury.
Watford have the Premier League’s worst home points total with just seven points from 36 possible. Their last six games all ended as losses.
Crystal Palace drew their last three games in the Premier League. Just one win has been tallied across Crystal Palace’s 12 away games this season.
Watford should pick up another important point this week at home versus Crystal Palace as the two sides finish in a score draw at full-time. Hodgson will come back to haunt his ex-team as under 2.5 goals are scored.
