Sunderland vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 27/04/2023, 10:43 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 27/04/2023 at 11:44 in Championship Predictions

There are two promotion play-off places left in the Championship. Sunderland are in the final qualifying postion and host Watford who are down in 15th and looking set for another season in the second-tier. There's just four points separating fifth place from 12th with Watford a further three points adrift. The home side are only in sixth on goal difference from Millwall and Blackburn Rovers. There's just one game left after this one and that's away at Preston who are ninth but only two points behind Sunderland. Current form for the home side is good with a seven game unbeaten run since a loss to Sheffield United who clinched automatic promotion this week. Three of their last four league game shave been won as they hit form at just the right time. Home form has seen them win seven league games this season with the same number lost and eight drawn. Better home form would have seen their play-off position confirmed by now. Only one of the last seven has been won but the only loss was to Shefield United.

Watford have had an inconsistent season with the nearly compulsory change of managers. They are six points behind Sunderland with an inferior goal difference so promotion is a near impossibility for the Hornets. Their last two league games have both ended in defeat with just one win in the last seven. Away form has been a problem for them with nine games being lost and just five won. Only 19 goals have been scored on their league travels with just Rotherham and Reading scoring less. Sunderland know they really need to win this game and that's just what we think they'll do.
