Middlesbrough vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar | in Championship Predictions
Watford travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday in a matchday 33 meeting between two struggling teams that are still in the playoff race. This match at the Riverside Stadium between the 9th-placed Boro and the 12th-placed Hornets comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Middlesbrough have 44 points from 31 matches and are only three behind the top six clubs, with a game in hand. Watford are two points behind their hosts but are still in contention for playoffs. Middlesbrough lost 3-1 away at Sheffield United on Wednesday, which was their fifth defeat in six competitive matches.
Even in the league, Boro lost four of their last five matches, losing control of their playoff push. Things haven’t been dire at home, though, as Middlesbrough avoided defeat in six of their last seven league matches at this venue.
Watford lost 4-0 at home against Leeds on Tuesday, extending their winless run to five matches, losing four. This continued their poor form since the last Boxing Day, as Watford lost eight and won only once in their recent 11 competitive matches.
The Hornets have been struggling on the road too, with nine defeats from their last 15 league trips. This sequence had them win only twice, underlining their growing troubles.
