Tranmere Rovers vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup

 by James | in FA Cup Prediction

This Thursday sees more FA Cup action after last week's scheduled third-round replay between Tranmere Rovers and Watford had to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Tranmere, of League One, continue to battle relegation to the fourth tier of English football. They are currently 21st in the table and come into this match off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich. Watford, meanwhile, are unbeaten in six Premier League matches, the most recent being a goalless draw at home to Tottenham. This good run of form has carried them out of the relegation zone. They are currently 17th in the table, one point above Aston Villa. With a match away to Villa next on the agenda for Nigel Pearson's team, we can imagine where his priorities lie.

Watford's last match against Tranmere was one of the highlights of the round. Rarely do you see a lower-league club come back from a three-goal deficit against Premier League opposition. Watford rested most of their first-choice XI yet that cannot mask the incompetence they showed in self-destructing at Vicarage Road. They weren't helped by a red card and will need to control their tackles in what is sure to be a full-blooded contest. Watford have extremely strong players in their team and a loss of control may explain their record of three red cards in their last five games. Although they won't want to exhaust themselves in the cup, we think that a potential win at Villa would add to the positive run they're enjoying. Therefore, we expect the Hornets to win this match in normal time.

Our Tranmere Rovers vs Watford Prediction

Tranmere are far from a terrible team. However, they shouldn't be able to beat Watford. The entertaining draw between these two teams was something of an anomaly created by complacency from the Premier League outfit. It's a complacency that they haven't shown at any other point during Pearson's reign and we don't expect it to be present on Thursday night. Back Watford to book their progress to the fourth round with a win in normal time.
