Watford vs Stoke Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John | in Championship Predictions
The Hornets of Watford have been flying high this season with two wins from their two games. In a crucial match this weekend, they face fellow in-form Championship rivals, the Potters, Stoke City. With both teams having won their league and cup games in the past week, what market will our prediction favour?
That is a good question, as this is a close game to call. Despite their excellent start under Tom Cleverley, Watford’s home record over the longer term is very poor. However, having thrashed MK Dons 5-0 in the Carabao Cup in midweek and won 3-2 at Millwall last weekend, the Hornets seem to have found their sting in attack once again.
Tom Ince staked his claim for a place in the team for this fixture as he scored a hat-trick in that win over MK Dons.
Stoke manager Steven Schumacher struggled initially after moving to the Potters from Plymouth in the middle of last season. However, this campaign has seen his team start with two positive results. A 1-0 home win over Coventry City last weekend was followed by a 2-0 victory away to Carlisle United in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Stoke had good away form over the latter part of last season and into this, and they tend to score in away fixtures. Against a team that is averaging four goals per game this season, this Championship showdown looks likely to be packed with goal action.

Our Watford vs Stoke Prediction
Our prediction for Watford vs. Stoke City in the Championship is: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Watford's home form is very poor in the Championship, but they have won both matches this season, scoring five goals in the process. That's a good start for the Hornets and they will need it against a Stoke City side who score in the majority of their away games. The data doesn't really give an obvious winner here, but goals do look likely to be scored at both ends in what could be an entertaining contest.
