Watford vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions
Championship action on Saturday afternoon as Watford welcomes Middlesbrough for a game that looks sure to be well fought between a pair of sides who are in the promotion hunt. The 8th-placed Hornets have been strong at home while the 7th-placed Boro have been inconsistent on the road. Those respective records need serious consideration for our match prediction.
Home cooking has been good for Watford so far, with three wins and a draw in four games at Vicarage Road. That is just as well for them as they have been poor on the road, losing 0-3 at Preston in midweek after a 1-4 defeat at Norwich in their prior away league game.
They picked up a 2-1 win over Sunderland last weekend, the team who currently sit atop the Championship table. That team inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Middlesbrough on September 21 which at least gives a form line into the contest.
Middlesbrough has two wins and two draws on the road this season, scoring three times and conceding twice. They picked up three points at West Brom in midweek, handing the Baggies their first home loss of the season as well as becoming the first away team to find the back of the net at The Hawthorns this season.
As well as their defeat at Sunderland, Middlesbrough has also lost at Derby this season and picked up a win at Cardiff. The latter team are bottom of the league while the Rams have a home record that is very similar to Watford. The lack of consistency for Middlesbrough on the road will be a bugbear for their fans.

Our Watford vs Middlesbrough Prediction
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
