Manchester City vs Watford Betting Tips

by JohnnyBet from

The FA Cup Final is one of the biggest dates in the football calendar. It is not only a huge occasion for English football fans but also for football fans around the globe. The FA Cup stirs up great memories of years gone by and the 2019 FA Cup Final has the potential to be one of the best in recent years.

As is the tradition for the FA Cup Final, the match will be played at Wembley Stadium at the end of the domestic football season in England. The game will be contested between Manchester City and Watford, with kick-off at 17:00 BST on Saturday 18th May 2019.

Having been eliminated from the Champions League by Tottenham Hotspur, the FA Cup could be the final trophy required to win the treble for Manchester City. They are competing with Liverpool for the Premier League and already have the League Cup in the bag.

Winning trophies is nothing new for Manchester City, having won the Premier League title last season but for Watford, this is a massive game. They have never won the title or the FA Cup and this could be the biggest moment in the history of the club.

Who will come out on top? Read on for our Manchester City vs Watford betting tips and Manchester City vs Watford betting odds.

1. ManCity vs Watford Predictions

It will come as little surprise to those who follow football closely that the Manchester City vs Watford betting odds have Pep Guardiola’s team as the huge favourites.

Having won the Premier League and League Cup last season plus the League Cup again this season, Manchester City are a team who know what it takes to win silverware. Not only that but Manchester City have a tremendous record against Watford and they are undefeated in their last fifteen games against the Hornets, a run which stretches back to the FA Cup in 1997.

Manchester City have won each of the last ten meetings between the teams, two of which were in the FA Cup and won both Premier League games this season. Therefore, anyone making Manchester City vs Watford predictions will see Manchester City as the clear favourites to lift the FA Cup.

The Manchester City vs Watford betting odds have Guardiola’s team as the 2/7 favourites at bet365 to win the match.

2. City vs Watford Betting Odds

It is tough to make a case for Watford to win this game. They have a terrible recent record against Manchester City, as highlighted above and have never won the FA Cup in their history. This will be only their second appearance in an FA Cup Final.

However, they have defeated three Premier League teams to reach this stage of the competition, which is one more than their opponent and that should hold them in good stead ahead of the showpiece occasion.

How the players react to playing in an FA Cup Final will be key and they will need to keep their composure and frustrate Manchester City. If they can do that, they will have a chance but the bookmakers believe there is only going to be one outcome for Watford and that’s defeat.

bet365 offer 10/1 for Watford to win the match with the draw available at 9/2.

3. Other Bets

All but one of Manchester City’s FA Cup games this season have seen over 2.5 goals and both of Watford’s last two matches in the competition have seen the same. A Manchester City win and over 2.5 goals is on offer at 8/11 with bet365.

If Watford are to cause an upset, it is highly likely they will need to keep a clean sheet and hit Manchester City on the counter attack. You will not find many Manchester City vs Watford betting tips backing a Watford win but if they succeed, it is likely to be by a narrow margin.

The 1-0 Watford win is a huge 25/1 at bet365 but with good reason.
