The Watford – Leicester match will take place on the Vicarage Road arena and will open on Saturday in the Premier League.
I think a pretty spectacular dispute awaits us.
Watford
He is in 17th place, the first to be saved from relegation and has 27 points after 18 rounds, just like Bournemouth, which is first below the line.
In 5 of the last 7 meetings he scored, but only in one of them he did not receive a goal.
He has only one success in the previous 8 games, even with the leader Liverpool, and during this time he suffered 5 defeats. On his own field he has only one failure in the last 8 confrontations and he has won 4 of them.
The former Barcelona player, Gerard Deulofeu, is injured and it is possible that 2020 will be a year for him. Daryl Janmaat also has medical problems and is reported to be unavailable.
Leicester
Occupies the last step of the podium thanks to the 53 points collected in 29 stages.
It comes after 2 duels in which he scored and did not score a goal, but before that he also had 2 in which he had no success and had been defeated with the same score, 1-0.
After a drought of 5 matches without victory in which he had suffered 3 defeats, the team had recovered and obtained 2 victories to zero, both at home. He won only in one of the previous 5 trips and lost 3 of them.
Ayoze Perez is uncertain due to physical problems. The same goes for Ryan Bennett who hit one of his ankles.
Daniel Amartey has a few chances to return to the pitch soon because of an injury.

Football Prediction of the Day Watford vs Leicester
As I said at the beginning of this preview, I expect to see a spectacular showdown on Vicarage Road.
A draw doesn’t help any of the teams and that’s why I don’t see reasons why they would be on the defensive.
In Watford’s offensive, he has someone to make a difference, even if Deulofeu is missing. Ismaila Sarr, Roberto Pereyra and Deeney have the necessary quality to destabilize many defenses.
In 5 of the last 6 home games of the yellow-blacks, he has scored at least 3 times.
And in Leicester’s outposts we find good footballers and here I mean especially Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans.
The “foxes” come after a 4-0 with Aston Villa, an opponent according to the one they will face now, so it is not excluded that only the guests will have at least 3 successes on the scoreboard.
