Watford (home)
- Watford are undefeated in their last two home games (both draws).
- Watford have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their 9 home Championship games this season, scoring 15 goals at Vicarage Road.
- Javi Gracia has provided a sense of tactical clarity at Vicarage Road since taking over in October 2025 and the Hornets play a compact and disciplined 4-4-2 system that can quickly transition vertically on the break, which is particularly relevant for our Watford vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips.
Sheffield Wednesday (away)
- Sheffield Wednesday have lost each of their last four games and have secured just one draw in their last five Championship matches.

- Sheffield Wednesday have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their 8 away Championship games in 2025-2026, conceding 1.50 goals per match on average.
- The manager Henrik Pedersen has introduced a high-intensity, pressing game and structure since taking over in July 2025, but off-field upheaval and recent EFL penalties have left them fighting for their lives - a key consideration in this Watford vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction.
