Watford - Manchester City Prediction, Picks and Tips
We continue with the Premier and change to the other Manchester team's game, at Watford-City. This time we are looking for the 3 cards in the match not to be exceeded, being the bet null if there are exactly 3. The main argument of the pick is that it is a City game, with all that that entails. It is supposed to be a game dominated by those of Guardiola in which there is not much contact and with few faults. The script of the encounter should be a City touching, trying to look for the gaps in the defense of a Watford that would give by good the tie.
City comes to this fifteenth day with 14 yellow cards and 0 red cards in 14 games. That is, an average of 1 yellow per game. However, half of them saw them in "their league" matches against Arsenal (2), Liverpool (3) and Tottenham (2). The other 7 are divided into 11 games, which leaves us 0.6 per game. For its part, the Watford comes with 28 yellow and 2 red in 14 games. But we have to polish this statistic and we have received 2 yellow against Tottenham, 2 against United, 2 against Arsenal and 0 against Liverpool. We would be talking about good numbers against rivals of the "Big 6".
The referee will be Paul Tierney, who arrives with 34 yellow cards and 0 red cards in 9 Premier League games this season. 3.7 per game. They are not the most favorable numbers but, if we look at last season (since it has not refereed to the City), we see that in no game of Guardiola that line was exceeded, with 1 yellow in the game against Brighton, 0 vs Everton, 1 vs Newcastle and 2 vs Southampton. 4 green in 4 matches (100% success). We would not have needed the "insurance" of the null with 3 exact. Only once has he refereed Watford and in that match he showed a total of 3 yellows, against Burnley.
