Tottenham Hotspur and Watford face off on Sunday in an English Premier League showdown at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. These two teams faced off last in September of 2020 and it was Watford that was able to come away with the 2-1 victory. 

Tottenham Hotspur have played well to start the season winning each of the first two games. To start the season, Tottenham Hotspur faced off with Manchester City and it was the defense that was the difference as they won 1-0. In the last game against the Wolves it was much of the same, as Tottenham Hotspur won 1-0. Dele Alli scored the only goal against the Wolves on a penalty kick. It was good goaltending in the last game, that was the difference as they gave up 25 shots with six of those going on goal. Harry Kane has also decided to stay with the team for now, and he should play in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Watford who has one win on the season. Watford opened up the season with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa. Watford had 13 shots with seven of those going on goal. Even with the success, Watford only had 37 percent of the possession. In the last game against Brighton, it was the lack of possession that really hurt them. Watford had 10 shots with only one shot on goal, and they gave up two goals to Burnley. If Watford wants any chance in this game, the defense is going to need to be a whole lot better.

Tottenham Hotspur’s defense is going to lock down again in this game, and Watford won’t put any goals in the back of the net. Tottenham Hotspur’s offense also hasn’t been great to start the season though, scoring only two goals total. Back the under. I am also laying a few dollars on an exact score of Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
