Command Analysis
Watford are having a rough season. The Hornets performed poorly in both cups and risk getting relegated to the EFL Championship following their disappointing campaign in the Premier League.
In January, Roy Hodgson became the new head coach for Watford, but the experienced manager hasn't been able to turn around the season. After 31 games, Watford are in 19th place with 22 points to their name. Victory over Southampton (2:1) was their only success in the last five matches.
Nkoulou, Baah and Cucho Hernández are unavailable for Hodgson this weekend.
Brentford had a fantastic start to their Premier League campaign, but the team didn't have the firepower for the whole season. After 32 rounds of the tournament, the Bees are in 13th place in the standings with 36 points from 10 wins and six draws. In the last two games, Thomas Frank's side beat Chelsea (4:1) and West Ham (2:0).

Tip and bets
The hosts are in a difficult situation. They haven't lost all hope to retain their residence in the English elite, but it will be extremely difficult to get out of the relegation zone. Obviously, the Hornets will push for a win and go forward. Brentford, on the other hand, are in no danger of returning to the Championship, but they have gained momentum and beat powerful opponents in the last games. We believe that the Bees will strive to build on their success.
Our prediction — both teams to score
Both sides lack consistency, but neither of the clubs has tied in the last five games. We expect a close fight and a draw which could satisfy both teams.
Second bet — draw
