Watford
- Watford have conceded just 19 goals in 18 home Championship matches.
- The Hornets have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games.
- Watford have been more consistent, if not spectacular, this term, and sit 10th in the table with 52 points from 37 matches.
Leicester City
- Leicester City have won four of their 19 Championship away games this season (D7, L8).
- Gary Rowett’s men face relegation this summer unless they can drag themselves out of danger between now and the end of the season.
- A 2-0 win over Bristol City last weekend was followed by a disappointing 1-3 home loss to QPR on Tuesday.
Head-to-Head
Leicester City have won two of the last three head-to-head meetings with Watford (W2, L1), but Watford should be able to overcome Rowett’s charges with home advantage.
Key Players
- Jordan James is their leading scorer with ten goals in 28 Championship appearances, but that is a pretty sorry statistic.
- Luca Kjerrumgaard has ten in 35 appearances and has two of the Hornets’ last six goals.
Betting Insights
- Watford are the favorites at 2.0 to beat a Leicester City side who have been woeful this season and are deep in trouble in 23rd place with 38 points from 38 games in the Championship.
- Leicester City average 1.32 goals per game on the road (25 goals in total), so the bookmakers’ favorite price of 1.67 on both teams to score looks too short.
Prediction
- Watford’s best chances of victory on Saturday will come on the counter-attack and Leicester City have been more pragmatic in their approach recently, so it may not be an open game.
- Watford should be able to overcome Rowett’s charges with home advantage.
