Sunderland vs Watford Betting Tips
These are our top betting tips and predictions for the match.
Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners
Sunderland vs Watford figures to be a very up-and-down match between two aggressive sides, so the corners market is quite an attractive one to bet on.
And with odds of 1.75, we are eyeing the over 9.5 corners bet to hit, which means having 10 or more corners for both teams throughout the 90 minutes will win the bet.
Our prediction is: Sunderland to win the 1st half
While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Sunderland vs Watford, where we have Sunderland to win the first half as our best bet.
Sunderland has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Sunderland taking an advantage into half-time.
