Head-to-Head Record and Odds

The head-to-head record between the two teams shows that Watford has a slight edge, with 2 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 meetings.

Analysis and Bet Choice

Considering the recent form and statistics, Sunderland's home win odds appear to be reasonable, given their strong performance at home and Watford's struggles away from home.
