Sheffield United vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 22/02/2023, 18:00 by Sridhar | Modified on 23/02/2023 at 10:33 in Championship Predictions

After a couple of losses that is threatening to rue their direct promotion bid, Sheffield United will have a tricky visitor to Bramall Lane on Saturday in Watford. The hosts start this matchday in 2nd place with 61 points from 32 matches while Watford are 7th with 50 points from 33 matches. Sheffield looked as if they were cruising towards a top-two finish but losses to Middlesbrough and Millwall has cut their lead to third-placed Middlesbrough to just four points. Although the Blades have a game in hand over them as well as leaders Burnley who are 12 points ahead, there’s an air of uncertainty in their game right now. They even conceded six goals in those two losses, but with only 30 conceded in the season they have the second-best defensive record. Despite those hiccups, staying at home gives Sheffield a great chance to revive their momentum having won six of their last seven home matches in all competitions.

Watford start this round just outside the top-six spots, on goal difference, which gives them a chance to dream of staying in contention for promotion. They are unbeaten in four Championship matches winning one and drawing three and have lost just once since the start of 2023 – three wins and four draws in eight league matches during this period. Only Rotherham have drawn more matches in this league campaign than Watford’s 11 ahead of this round and some of the travelling fans may feel that they have dropped a lot of points. That’s certainly not the case on the road where Watford have avoided defeat in seven of their last nine away league matches, winning four and drawing three.

The odds are heavily favouring a Sheffield United win, despite their latest blip in form. They are backed to win at an average odds of 1.87 while Watford are distant underdogs to surprise the hosts at odds of 4.6 on an average. A draw is slightly better at odds of 3.75 but still an outside option in the market.

Sheffield United - Watford: Form Analysis

Sheffield United have lost their last two matches which has suddenly put the spotlight on their form and ability to knock up top-two spots. That losing streak has stopped an unbeaten run of ten games prior, where they won eight and drew twice. Watford are on a mini-run of four-game unbeaten run where they drew thrice and won once. Away form will be of slight concern as two draws and one loss in their last three Championship away matches put a question mark on their ability to surprise the hosts on this trip.
