Fulham vs Watford Predictions

• Four of Fulham’s last five game have featured over 2.5 goals.
• All six of Watford’s last games have seen over 2.5 goals.
• Watford have lost four of their last five competitive fixtures.

Expect goals at the Cottage

The third round of the FA Cup kicks off at Craven Cottage, where Fulham play host to Championship side Watford in what should be an entertaining affair.

Both these sides have seen their fair share of high-scoring games this season, with four of Fulham’s last five and each of Watford’s last six going over the 2.5 goal line. With a decent gap until their next fixtures, both sides are likely to field strong lineups with only a few changes.

Fulham are expected to name a side similar to the one that drew with Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as the team that beat Chelsea, and they should have the beating of a Watford side that lack that level of quality.

The Hornets have lost four of their last five outings, and it would be a surprise to see them in the hat for the fourth round. That said, they rarely fail to find the net, and a consolation goal in a 3-1 win for the hosts looks a good bet.
