Watford vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 09/02/2023, 07:47 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 09/02/2023 at 09:33 in Championship Predictions

Fifth placed Watford host Blackburn Rovers who are only two places below them. Blackburn will go ahead of their opponents if winning this match. It's another tight Championship table when it comes to the promotion play-off positions. Watford may be in fifth place but they are only six points above QPR who are 14th. Most of the sides below them in the table have got a game in hand so Watford need to keep getting good results to stay in the top six. Current form is a concern though with only two points earned from their last three league fixtures. Last weekend was a frustrating one for Watford as they led 2-0 at Reading and returned home with a point. Home form has produced seven wins out of 14 Championship fixtures but only one of the last four has been won. Goals aren't flowing either with just two in the last four and one of those was a penalty against struggling Blackpool. Their last six home league games have all seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. That stat has come up in all but two of their last 12 league fixtures.

Blackburn Rovers are only a point behind Watford and have a game in hand on them. Rovers are also struggling for both goals and points. They also come into this match having earned only two points from their last three league games. They lost 4-0 at Rotherham on January 14 and since then have drawn with Bristol City and Wigan Athletic. That's two draws after not one in their first 27 league fixtures this season. Away form has been a problem for Blackburn. They may have won five matches in the Championship but Rovers have suffered nine defeats. Only 11 goals have been scored in their 15 away league fixtures with just four in the last six and two of those were own goals scored by the opposition. Eight away league games this season have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. Another one looks to be on the way.
