Take on the Professor: Struggling Swans will be no match for Watford

Published:

Fresh from his midweek success, The Professor has faced up to a quick turnaround and is looking as sharp as ever.

Newcastle’s finest was no match for our bearded genius but how will a representative from one of the Toon Army’s relegation rivals fare?

Swansea City superfan @stevedavies88 is going to have a crack at the bearded genius and attempt to correctly predict the outcome of his side’s Monday night tussle against Watford.

He’s got the brawn but does he have the brains to match?

This is the competition he’s facing…

As ever our contestant been given a £25 FREE BET to use as he wishes ahead of the big game.

And in terms of the competition’s format, it’s pretty simple.

For each correct pick, the entrant will be awarded the odds paid out on that selection.

For example, a correct 20/1 selection will reward 20 points. There will be no penalty for an incorrect selection.

This is what the pair have gone for…

Contrasting opinions. Love it.

The Prof certainly thinks he’s got it all worked out:

Swansea have just two wins in their last 19 games in all competitions and have secured only one win in their last 10 home Premier League games. 

Watford aren’t pulling up trees either with one win in their last five games, that coming in the FA Cup. But they have beaten each of the bottom three away from home this season with all of those victories coming by a single goal. 

Odion Ighalo has opened the scoring in five league games this season, including in the Hornets’ 1-0 win over Swansea at Vicarage Road back in September.
