Leicester vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup

Prediction published on 06/01/2022, 04:01 by Indran | Modified on 06/01/2022 at 05:01 in FA Cup Prediction

Leicester have had a disappointing season in the league and will once again be looking for Cup success when they welcome Watford to the King Power Stadium. The defending champions had an excellent win in their last match when they beat Liverpool 1-0 and that win has taken them to 10th on the league table with 25 points. The visitors are in 17th position with 13 points. Leicester will be hoping to build on their performance from the last match and will fancy their chances against a team they have not lost against in their last 23 home matches. The home team who won their maiden FA Cup trophy last season last faced Watford in the FA Cup back in 1982 and they won that match 2-0. Only once in the last nine season has the holders been eliminated in the third round.

Watford are having a dismal season and will be hoping that the FA Cup will bring some much needed change to their fortunes. They are just two points above the relegation zone and have played one match more than the team below them. Watford have lost their last six matches and have lost eight of their last nine matches. They have gone out in the third round of the FA Cup in the last two years but the last time they faced the holders was in the 2015/16 season when they beat Arsenal 2-1 in the quarter final.
