S.P.Read Esq: Watford v Crystal Palace

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the 4pm kick off in the Premier League on Sunday between WATFORD v CRYSTAL PALACE and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Nice profit with the sell (at 74) of the third match goal at White Hart Lane with the third goal going in on 50 minutes.

Just the one match in the Premier League on Sunday and it comes at Vicarage Road as Watford welcome Crystal Palace at 4pm (SKY) for their first ever meeting in the Premier League.

Both teams are in good form. Watford have yet to concede a goal at home this season and are bidding for a third win in a row.

Palace have done exceptionally well on the road – winning 8 of their 11 away league games under Alan Pardew who said: “We’ve got a lot of pace in the team, which makes us dangerous away from home. I don’t think anybody had six more difficult [opening] games than us and to take nine points is great.”

Watford will be without Valon Behrami (suspended) and Joel Ekstrand (injury).

Crystal Palace have fitness doubts over Scott Dann and Damien Delaney whilst Connor Wickham is still short of fitness following a rib injury.

Both teams are playing well and I expect a close game. I don’t often play the corners, but with plenty of chances at both ends I am a buyer today at 10.75 with Star Spreads.
