Watford vs Burnley Prediction: The meeting between the two underdogs of last season's EPL

Watford will face Burnley at home in the third leg of the Champions League. The home side has some interesting stats from Friday's Champions League games. Do we expect the Hornets to win?

Watford had a successful home fixture in the opening round of the Champions League. The Hornets scored one unanswered goal against Sheffield United. Next weekend, the team traveled to West Bromwich Albion. In the opening stages, Sarr gave Watford the lead, but the club conceded a return goal towards the end of the first half. In the second half, the same Sarr could have brought Watford the win, but the forward failed to convert a penalty to draw (1:1). Watford sits sixth in the Championship table.

In the first leg, Burnley, led by Vincent Kompany, was successful on the road against Huddersfield Town (1:0). In the next round, the Bordeaux side faced Luton Town. Burnley found themselves in a catch-up role in the game's opening stages but was able to reply with a 1:1 draw early in the second half. Burnley is fourth in the Championship table.

Watford has achieved a positive result in their last six matches in the Champions League, which were played on Friday. The Hornets will be performing with the support of the home stands, a team that can extend that streak. Burnley will have a tough time picking up points. We think the upcoming meeting will be quite productive. Most of Watford and Burnley's head-to-head encounters at Vicarage Road have been highly productive.
