Watford vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
Watford’s quest for automatic promotion at the end of the season is proving to be rocky after their loss in the last game threw them off the top six. They are set to play at home to Sunderland in their next Championship game, with a point separating them in the league standings. Sunderland are sixth on 14 points and Watford 10th on 13 points. Hosts Watford are now winless in the last two matches following their 2-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers, and in the last six in the league, they’ve managed just one win. Twice in the last five league games, Watford have failed to score and twice in the same run, they’ve conceded two or more goals. They however have a good run at home, winning three of their opening four in the Championship.
It has been on and off for Sunderland and they come into this game boosted by a 3-0 win over Reading. That win was their third in five matches – they’ve lost the other two and they have three clean sheets in those five games. Sunderland carry a threat in attack, having scored three in two of their last three matches. It is their away form that will be the major concern here. The team has lost three of the last five away matches and managed just two clean sheets in that period. These two last faced off in 2017, when they were both in the Premier League; Watford won 1-0 back then.
