Brighton and Watford will both be aiming to maintain their winning starts to the Premier League campaign when they meet at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

The Seagulls came from behind to beat Burnley in their opening encounter last weekend, with goals from Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister overturning James Tarkowski’s early opener.

Brighton vs Watford latest odds

Unbeaten in five league matches on home turf, Brighton are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to make it six points from six with another victory here.

Xisco’s Watford enjoyed an impressive return to the top flight by beating Aston Villa 3-2 at Vicarage Road but are 17/4 (5.25) outsiders to make it two wins in a row.

Both of the last two meetings between this duo at this ground have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them playing out yet another stalemate in this one.

Brighton vs Watford preview

Having gone three goals up within the first two-thirds of the match, the Hornets were grateful to eventually hold on to victory as Villa scored twice to make for a slightly nervy finish last time out.

While the attacking endeavour will have given them plenty of confidence for a trip to a Brighton team that have now gone seven matches without a clean sheet, they may need to improve their defensive game if they are to extend their winning start.

Indeed, Graham Potter’s team have only failed to score in one of their last six league games and put three goals past champions Manchester City in their final home game of the last campaign.

Brighton vs Watford predictions

On current form, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem generous on both the hosts and Watford getting on target in an entertaining clash.
