Watkins' Form Boosts England Squad Betting Considerations

Aston Villa's recent victory over Liverpool, which secured their Champions League spot, highlighted Ollie Watkins' resurgence as a key player. With two goals in the match, Watkins has now scored 12 Premier League goals this season, with nine coming since his omission from the England squad in March. This impressive form positions him as a strong contender for a spot in the England World Cup squad, making him a player of interest for bettors focused on squad selections and player performance.

Watkins' recent scoring exploits, particularly against Liverpool, showcase his ability to capitalize on defensive weaknesses, which could influence betting markets related to player performance in upcoming matches. Since the last international break, he leads all players in Premier League goals, surpassing notable names like Erling Haaland. For bettors, this trend might suggest that backing Watkins in various betting markets, such as first goal scorer or total goals, could be worth considering, especially as he heads into critical fixtures including the Europa League final.
