Premier League: Brighton v Watford betting preview, tip, team news & kick-off

Kick-off 3pm Saturday

It has been a tough week for Brighton and Watford, who are smarting from throwing away winning positions.

The Hornets led Tottenham 1-0 at Wembley before conceding twice in the last 15 minutes but their experience was probably not as bad as that of the Seagulls, who established a 2-0 half-time advantage at Fulham only to lose 4-2.

Brighton's defending – usually a strong suit – was all over the place at Craven Cottage and further sloppiness could cost them against a Watford side battling to finish best of the rest.

Recommendation
Watford 0 on Asian handicap
