West Brom
- West Brom have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five games.
- The Baggies currently sit in fifth place in the Championship on 17 points from ten games, five points above 15th-placed Watford who have 12 points from ten games.
- However, their away record in the Championship is three wins and two defeats in five matches, with the most recent away trip, a 3-0 defeat at Millwall, showing that there’s still some growing pains in Mason’s set-up.
- The Watford vs West Bromwich prediction is becoming more challenging as Albion will be desperate for Isaac Price to get involved as he has scored four goals in his ten Championship appearances.
Watford
- Watford have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games.
- Watford’s reappointment of Javi Gracia has brought with it an immediate return to the structure-first approach that had brought success to the club during his previous tenure and calmed the atmosphere around a club that was in danger of losing its way during a turbulent period.
- They have a gritty 0-0 draw at Sheffield United to thank for the draw figure in that record with two home wins from their previous two games suggesting that a home field advantage might be developing at the Vicarage once more.
Key Players
Imran Louza has been the chief danger man for the Hornets with the in-form attacker scoring twice in his last five appearances to top the Championship scoring charts for his club.
- Recent stats: 2 goals in 5 games; club top scorer.
- Isaac Price has scored four goals in his ten Championship appearances and will be important for Albion’s chances.
Betting Insights
- Our Watford vs West Bromwich betting tips suggest that backing West Brom to win on the road at 2.45 looks a little too generous, but even the 2.8 about the home side is generous given their form is inconsistent and the 3.26 about a draw offers a lot of value in this game.
- We’ll take that, although it’s going to be a tough evening’s work for both managers and a narrow win is more likely for either side.
- This should be a hard-fought, tight matchup where both teams will look to play on the front foot at times with Both Teams To Score available at 1.89.
Prediction
