Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be Watford's win.

Preview
Watford and Bristol City meet at Vicarage Road Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 22‑08‑2017 and ended in a (2‑3) win by Bristol City, and the latest on 14‑01‑2014, which ended in a (2‑0) win by Watford. Watford registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Watford

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 31 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Manchester City by (3‑1). In the last 10 home matches Watford has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Watford comes unmotivated for this match after a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City arena. The home team usually acts in a tactical system in 4-2-3, privileging the quick transitions, mainly through the flanks. One of the strengths of the home team is how they can react to a disadvantage. The Watford coach won’t count on Chalobah, Femenía, Hoban, Miguel Britos and Craig Cathcart for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Heurelho Gomes, Daryl Janmaat, Marvin Zeegelaar, Molla Wagué, Christian Kabasele, André Carrillo, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Roberto Pereyra, Étienne Capoue.
Coach: T. Cleverley, T. Deeney, S. Bilić.

Analysis Bristol City

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away loss against Aston Villa by (5‑0). In the last 10 away matches Bristol City has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 15 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 23 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Bristol comes unmotivated for this match after a 5-0 loss at Aston Villa ground. The visiting team usually plays in 4-3-3, preferring offensive transitions and channeling their attack through the flanks. The three arrows aimed at the "enemy" goal will be Bryan, Reid and Brownhill, with the two players responsible for making the visiting team’s match wide are Magnússon and Wright. It’s possible that Paterson, Pack and Smith will act in the most central area of the pitch.

Confirmed Lineup: Luke Steele, Zak Vyner, Lloyd Kelly, Hörður Magnússon, Aden Flint, Opanin Edwards, Korey Smith, Niclas Eliasson, Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, Cauley Woodrow, Matty Taylor.
Coach: N. Pearson.
