Watford (home)
- Watford have lost four and drawn one of their last five.
- Edward Still’s Watford have taken one draw and one defeat from their last two home games and have failed to beat Coventry in their last two at home.
- The Hornets are coming off the back of a 3-0 away defeat to West Brom and a 5-1 reverse at Middlesbrough.
Coventry (away)
- Coventry City are clear favorites to win on Saturday against an out-of-form Watford team that have lost their way in recent weeks.
- The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning the last two, while Watford are on a run of four straight defeats and one draw.
- Coventry have scored 42 goals in 22 away games in the Championship this season and have the firepower to breach the Watford defense in an open game.
Head-to-Head
Coventry beat Watford 3-1 at home in the Championship six months ago and Frank Lampard’s side have three wins and two draws from the five most recent games between the sides.
Key Players
- Haji Wright is Coventry’s chief threat, with 17 goals in 39 Championship appearances this term, but Ephron Mason-Clark has been in red-hot form of late.
- He has scored three of Coventry’s last eight goals in the past five games and can add to that tally at Vicarage Road.
- Luca Kjerrumgaard is Watford’s best scorer with ten goals in 43 Championship games, but Still’s side have enough to register at least once.
Betting Insights
- The odds on an away win are just 1.97 for this game and that is the best wager for small stakes.
- Both teams to score at 1.5 is an OK play, but over 2.5 goals is a little short at 1.57.
Prediction
- Coventry are likely to have too much firepower and energy for Watford on Saturday and it should be a game of goals and excitement.
- Back Sky Blues to get the better of Watford.
