by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
Watford have a chance to enhance their top six charge while Stoke City look to boost their survival chances in the Championship. The two sides meet at Stoke, Watford sitting ninth and the hosts 20th. Below is our prediction for the match.
The Potters are five points above the bottom three and with 12 matches to go they’ll want to widen that gap. Their recent outings aren’t the way to do it though, having lost three of four league matches.
The most recent of those was a 3-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough. That loss marked their eighth winless outing in the last 10 home Championship matches.
Watford have had two significant back-to-back wins in their chase for a playoff spot. They are coming from a 2-0 win at home against bottom side Luton Town.
That result presented them a second straight clean sheet, having earlier beaten fellow playoff chasers Middlesbrough 1-0. Hitting 48 points has kept Watford’s promotion hopes alive in a congested race for a top six spot.
Goal difference doesn’t favor them a lot in that perspective, being the only team with a negative GD among the teams six points below sixth.
There’s a lot to improve on, with the visitors scoring more than a goal in just three of their last 10 away league matches.
