LiontipsManchester United vs Watford. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (February 26, 2022).
Command Analysis
Manchester United finished in first place in their Champions League group. They were paired against Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 and drew against the Spanish champions in the first leg (1:1) on Wednesday.
In the FA Cup, the Red Devils defeated Aston Villa in the first round, but then suffered a disappointing defeat to Middlesbrough on penalties and left the competition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær was sacked after the defeat in the reverse fixture in November, and Ralf Rangnick replaced him as head coach. Currently, Rangnick's side is doing well: United are in 5th place in the standings with 46 points from 13 victories and 7 draws. In the last two matches, the Red Devils celebrated success over Brighton (2:0) and Leeds (4:2).
McTominay, Cavani, and Greenwood have been ruled out of this fixture.
Watford didn't have any success in the FA Cup. The Yellow-and-Blacks lost to Leicester in the opening round of the competition (1:4). In the Premier League, the newly-promoted club had endured a ridiculously long winless run, which they interrupted last weekend.
In the previous two matches, the Hornets beat Aston Villa (1:0) and lost to Crystal Palace (4:1). After 25 rounds of the competition, Roy Hodgson's men sit in 19th place in the table with 18 points from five victories and three draws.
Today, the visitors will be without Nkoulou and Etebo.
