Watford vs Stoke Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Watford bid to get their promotion challenge back on track with a home win over Stoke City. The Hornets are sixth in the table but only above opponents eighth placed Stoke City on goal difference. The home side go into this game having earned only two points from their last three league games. A third straight league win looked on the cards for Watford until they conceded a 90th minute equalizer at home to Bournemouth. Three points would have been expected at Wycombe Wanderers, who had lost their first seven league games. Again, they took the lead but gave that away in the second half. Their poor form continued with a loss away to struggling Barnsley on Saturday. They now have two home games this week against Stoke and Coventry and will look to get back into winning ways. Goals continue to be a problem though with only eight in nine league games this season. Only five have been conceded though and all but one of nine matches has seen under 2.5 goals scored in them.
Stoke City struggled to avoid relegation last season but have made a much better start this term. They begin these midweek games in eighth place with 15 points. Like their opponents, Stoke have won four, drawn three and lost two matches. Only one of their last seven league games has been lost, an away defeat at second placed Swansea City. Ten points have come from their last five league games, though seven have been earned on home soil. On their travels, seven points have come from four away games. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in each of them. Another tight game looks likely here, go for under 2.5 goals to be scored.

Our Watford vs Stoke Prediction
Watford made a good start to life back in the Championship but they have struggled in recent matches. Goals are still not flowing and they are down to sixth in the table. They host Stoke City who are doing much better than last season. Their away form isn't too bad but like their opponents, there aren't too many goals being scored. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
