Below is a description of the Watford vs Man United match:
Match Preview:
Even though United is scheduled to play Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday night, most experts think Jose Mourinho will field a heavily weakened side for that match, with at least eight of the players who started the derby expected to miss out.
Watford’s match against Manchester United at Vicarage Road is unlikely to suffer from any Europa League hangover, while it will also be the first chance for most of the Manchester derby starters to break their losing streak.
In this one, Manchester United will want to make a statement from the outset.
If they are able to score goals in both halves, it would not be surprising if they manage to win this game. A 3/2 bet on them scoring in both halves once again would be worth exploring, as that is exactly what they did in their first three official matches of the season.
Head To Head:
Watford Manchester United played so far 17 matches.
Watford won 2 direct matches. Manchester United won 15 matches. 0 matches ended in a draw. The two teams scored an average of 3.18 goals in direct matches.
Watford scored approximately 1.00 goals per match as a season average. The total goals (from the team and from the opponent) were over 1.5 in 5 (62.5%) matches played at home. Over 2.5 goals were scored in 3 (37.50%) of the matches played at home in season 2021.

Match Prediction:
With a point to prove, Manchester United‘s XI should have too much talent and hunger to fail to leave with a victory, but that doesn’t mean they will be able to maintain a clean sheet.
As they scored in each of their matches so far, they certainly know a lot about scoring goals. Last weekend, the Hornets ran riot against West Ham United with four goals. Considering the odds of 13/5 for Manchester United to win, with both teams scoring, it may make sense to take a look at them.
There have been goals from both teams in all five Watford matches this season, and three of United’s five league matches as well. However, the likes of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo can give the visitors a scare, even if they are expected to win.
