Watford vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 02/12/2020, 10:04 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 03/12/2020 at 07:08 in Championship Predictions

Just two points cover the top seven in the Championship. Watford are third in the table and look for three more points when hosting Cardiff City who are 12th. The Hornets could have gone top of the table if winning at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening. Instead, they drew 0-0, their fifth away draw of the season. Watford had a poor patch of form in October, earning just two points from three games. Since then, they have recovered well and come into this match unbeaten in their last six league matches, though three of the last four have ended level. In such a tight league, those draws could prove very costly at the end of the season. Home form is strong though with 14 goals in their last five league matches. They have six wins and a draw at Vicarage Road, the best record in the Championship. Their last home game saw them beat Preston 4-1, that's one more goal than they have scored in eight away league games this season..

Cardiff City lost in the play-off semi-finals last season. They have had an inconsistent season this time around and out of 15 league games, five have been won, five drawn and five lost. City were down as low as 18th last week after a run of one win in eight. However, they have bounced back to form in their last two fixtures. A 4-0 home win over Luton Town last weekend was followed by a 3-0 victory at home to Huddersfield Town. Kieffer Moore is in top form with three goals scored in those two home victories. Away form has seen Cardiff with no wins in four and two of the last three have been lost. Those defeats were inflicted by QPR and Coventry City, both in the bottom half of the table. Another away loss is on the way here, our tip is for Watford to get the win.

Our Watford vs Cardiff Prediction

Watford have the best home record in the Championship and another win at Vicarage Road looks on the cards. If it wasn't for their poor away form, they'd be clear at the top of the table. They take on Cardiff who have had two good wins in the past week but both were at home. Their away form isn't so hot, go for Watford to win this match.

Watford wins the match
