Watford vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Championship action returns to Vicarage Road this weekend as Watford host Blackburn Rovers as ninth takes on sixth in the current league table. Will the Hornets have a sting in the tail for Rovers, or can Blackburn end their awayday blues? Let’s check out our prediction for the match!
Watford’s form at home this season has been excellent. They have played five times, winning four and drawing the other. They have netted ten goals, conceding just four. That form has been the bedrock of them lying ninth in the table, as their away form has been shocking.
The Hornets have lost all of their last five on the road, so will be pleased this game is at home! They lost last weekend 3-0 at Luton before also losing 2-1 at Leeds in midweek.
Blackburn’s record is very similar to Watford with excellent home form and poor road form. Rovers are yet to win on the road, drawing three games, but losing their two most recent road matches.
They warmed up for their latest trip with a 1-0 win over Swansea last weekend and then a battling 0-0 draw against fellow playoff rivals West Brom in midweek. They now lie sixth in the table after eleven games.

Our Watford vs Blackburn Prediction
Our prediction for the Watford vs. Blackburn Rovers Championship match is: Watford to win.
The data for both these teams is surprisingly similar. Both have excellent home form, drawing just once and winning the remainder of their home games. Yet away from home both have struggled. With the data set so strong for both these teams, it is hard to go against the obvious choice of backing Watford to extend their good home form with another victory here.
