Liverpool FC vs. Watford FC
Saturday, April 02, 2022 – 07:30 AM EDT at Anfield
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Liverpool is unbeaten at halftime in 36 consecutive domestic fixtures.
- Liverpool is undefeated in 53 of their previous 56 games in all competitions.
- Watford has won 4 of their last 24 Premier League games.
- Watford's previous 3 Premier League meetings have seen over 2.5 goals.
EPL Title Chase Heats Up
The turn of 2022 has borne witness to an almost unstoppable Liverpool squad, and Jurgen Klopp's men can jump into 1st position of the Premier League – although it may be brief – with a victory over a visiting Watford side Saturday morning.
The Reds have been on a categorical tear since January 1st, winning 15 of 19 games in all competitions whilst losing just one of those games. A streak of 9 back-to-back domestic victories has positioned Liverpool within 1 point of the league leaders Manchester City. With a visiting Watford side entering Merseyside versus an unbeaten run stretching over a year, it's unlikely the Hornets can damage Klopp's title chase.

At the opposite end of the Premier League table, Watford are 3 points unanchored from the relegation zone, and the teams surrounding them possess two games in hand. Overcoming Southampton in their previous outing was undoubtedly a positive takeaway, but winning a mere 2 games from their last 18 games is a huge red flag for Roy Hodgson and company.
Final Thoughts | Premier League Betting Odds
The EPL available odds – to no surprise – are heavily in favor of Liverpool. Placing a wager on the Liverpool moneyline presents zero value because the outcome of this fixture is all but guaranteed.
The reverse fixture at Vicarage Road saw Liverpool deliver a complete dismantling as they returned home with all 3 points on top of a 5-0 hammering. I wouldn't be shocked to witness a similar scoreline, and for a viable wager, I advise you to take the Reds to win both halves of play.
Score Prediction: Liverpool 3 – Watford 0

Chelsea FC vs. Brentford FC
Saturday, April 02, 2022 - 10:00 AM EDT at Stamford Bridge
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Chelsea is unbeaten at halftime in 28 consecutive Premier League games.
- Chelsea is undefeated in 27 of their last 31 EPL home fixtures.
- Chelsea has won their previous 6 matches in all competitions.
- Brentford has won just 2 of their previous 12 games in all competitions.
- Brentford has allowed 1 goal or more in 15 straight away meetings.
The Blues Aim for Seven in a Row
Despite the drama surrounding Chelsea Football Club off the pitch, Thomas Tuchel has maintained his squad's form as the Blues resume pursuit of success domestically, in the FA Cup, and the Champions League this term.
Tuchel could be eyeing his quarter-final meeting with Real Madrid next Wednesday. Still, Chelsea isn't going to lose their stronghold on the third position in the EPL table, as the European champions are 5 points clear of their London rivals Arsenal.
Get Involved: BMR Community
Brentford's blistering start to the 2021/22 campaign has failed to survive the test of time amongst the Premier Elite, but an 8-point gap from the drop zone will hopefully be enough for Thomas Frank's men to see EPL action in 2022/23.
With just 1 win from their previous 11 top-flight meetings on the road, failing to keep a clean sheet in 12 consecutive EPL away games should provide the home side with all the confidence required to get the job done.
Final Thoughts | Premier League Betting Odds
Chelsea is the natural betting favorite for the best sportsbooks as the current Premier League odds stand. With a mere 7 goals conceded on home turf all season long and a 17-game unbeaten streak at Stamford Bridge that was only compromised by Manchester City in September, Chelsea shouldn't have an issue in sending Brentford back home without a single point.
Score Prediction: Chelsea 2 – Brentford 0
Soccer Pick: Chelsea to Win and Under 3.5 Goals (-118) [1.85] [1.18u wager returns 1u] at Everygame
