Watford vs Swansea Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 06/03/2024, 06:05  by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions

Swansea City will be away to Watford seeking a third successive English Championship victory. Two points separate the two teams coming into this match with Watford in 12th having the advantage over 15th-placed Swansea. Watford have struggled since the turn of the year and have managed just three wins in 13 outings across all competitions. They have lost six times in this period with those defeats coming in their last seven outings. Valerien Ismael’s men, who have amassed 44 matches, were defeated 1-0 last weekend by Millwall. This was their 13th loss of the season and left them just six points from the relegation zone. The Hornets won the reverse match with Swansea 1-0 back in October.

Swansea are witnessing an upturn in fortunes and will arrive for this game fully confident of a win. Luke Williams’ men have won their last two matches, both by 2-1 scorelines. Before this success, Swansea had endured a tough start to the year just like Watford. They had lost six times in seven outings before coming away with all three points away to Sunderland to begin this run. The Swans, who have slowly peeled away from the relegation zone, defeated Blackburn at home over the weekend. That win moved them to 42 points, four clear of the drop zone. They will be eager to keep this momentum going. To add to their motivation, the Jacks won 2-1 the last time they were at Vicarage Road.
