What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Watford and 1.6 from West Ham, so West Ham come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.6), and we make both teams to score about 58%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 58 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.60, which works out at about 63 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Watford have won one of their last five.
West Ham have won one of their last five.

One thing to watch

If one attack goes missing for the night, both teams scoring falls flat. The price is shorter than our own read of about 58%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
