Bournemouth V Watford Match Preview.
Watford head to the Goldsands stadium tomorrow to play Bournemouth in the Sky Bet Championship with the Hornets looking to get back to winning ways after their first defeat under Guiseppe Sannino last weekend. Watford currently sit in 15th position with Bournemouth in 16th. A win for the Hornets tomorrow could see them move up to 13th in the table depending on results. Watford have played the Cherries twice this season both of which coming in August. In the league, Watford beat the Hornets 6-1 at Vicarage Road in Early August with Troy Deeney scoring the first Watford hat trick in 10 years and the first hat trick at Vicarage Road since 1996. Then in the Captial One Cup three weeks later at Vicarage Road, an owl goal from Elliot Ward and a lovely finish from Cristian Battochio sealed a 2-0 win for the Hornets. Bournemouth are managed by Eddie Howe who made a return to the Dorset club last season and guided the Cherries to the Championship. The Dorset club are doing reasonably well this season and currently lie in 16th. The form of Lewis Grabban has been a big plus side for the club with the striker scoring 10 goals in 25 games this season. However, the striker may not play tomorrow as he is currently in talks with Brighton over a £1.1 million move to the Seagulls. With the Hornets unbeaten in their last seven away games, hopefully Watford can get back to winning ways tomorrow at the Goldsands.
