A win for Burnley is slightly overpriced here, with the bookmakers offering 3.20 odds for them to win. In all reality they should be the favourites in this fixture, but backing them to avoid defeat (+0.5) at 1.60 odds is a very good option with lesser risk.

Watford hosts Burnley at the Vicarage Road on Friday in third round of fixtures of the English Championship season.

Both teams were relegated to the Championship last season, they have had bright starts to the season but Burnley have been far more convincing than Watford.

Watford were very lucky to come off with a point in the last game against West Bromwich Albion. The hornets struggled to match the intensity of their opponents for most part of the game, and although they feel they deserved more with Sarr's penalty, they weren't really convincing in that tie.

Burnley are unbeaten in their last three games, winning two and dropping points in a 1-1 draw at home to Luton. They are currently third in the league, just above their opponents Watford who are fourth. Burnley began their season with a 3-1 win away to Shrewsbury.

Vincent Company's team have won to consecutive away games heading into this fixture. Their last away match was a one nil win away to Huddersfield on the opening day. Ian Maatsen was on the score sheet for Burnley and they should have won the game by a bigger margin.

Watford have won just one of their last six games in all competitions, drawing three and losing two of those games. The hosts come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion.

Rob Edwards team have had problems scoring goals. They have scored a measly three goals in their last six games, this statistics should worry them against a team like Burnley.

Burnley have the better head to head record in this fixture. They have avoided defeat in 83% of their total meetings against Watford, winning 45% of those games. The last meeting between these two teams was in the premier league last year with Burnley winning by two goals to one.

The visitors are well placed to win this game, but backing them to win or draw (+0.5) is a much safer bet with good value.

沃特福德周五将在牧师大道主场迎战伯恩利，这是英冠赛季的第三轮比赛。

两支球队上赛季都降级到英冠，他们有一个光明的开始，但伯恩利比沃特福德更有说服力。

沃特福德很幸运，在上一场对阵西布朗的比赛中拿到了一分。在比赛的大部分时间里，黄蜂都在努力匹配对手的强度，尽管他们觉得萨尔的点球应该让他们得到更多，但他们在那场比赛中并没有真正令人信服。

伯恩利在最近三场比赛中保持不败，在主场1-1战平卢顿的比赛中2胜1负丢分。他们目前在联赛中排名第三，仅仅高于排名第四的对手沃特福德。伯恩利以客场3-1战胜什鲁斯伯里开始了他们的新赛季。

文森特公司的球队已经连续赢得了客场比赛进入这个比赛。他们的上一场客场比赛是揭幕战客场1比0战胜哈德斯菲尔德。伊恩·马森在伯恩利的得分榜上，他们本应该以更大的优势赢得比赛。

沃特福德最近6场比赛只赢了一场，3平2负。东道主是在客场1-1战平西布朗维奇的情况下进入本场比赛的。

罗布·爱德华兹的球队在进球方面有问题。在过去的六场比赛中，他们只打进了可怜的三球，面对伯恩利这样的球队，这个数据应该会让他们担心。

伯恩利在这场比赛中有更好的头对头记录。他们在与沃特福德的比赛中有83%没有输球，其中45%获胜。这两支球队上一次交手是在去年的英超联赛中，当时伯恩利以2比1的比分获胜。

客队很有可能赢得这场比赛，但支持他们获胜或平局是一个更安全的赌注，有良好的价值。
