by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Watford suffered a blow to their promotion hopes when losing at home to Millwall on Saturday. They are 11th in the Championship and host Swansea City who are four places below them in the table. Can the Hornets get back into winning ways? Here's our match prediction.
Six points separate Watford from the final promotion play-off position. They led Millwall at the weekend but ended up losing 2-1. That made it just one point from their last two league fixtures but their next three games are all against sides below them in the table.
The Hornets have won ten home league games this season but six of the last seven have been lost. Seven of the last nine home league fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals scored in the match.
Swansea City are 11 points behind sixth place so promotion this season is looking very unlikely. They did win their last match though with a 1-0 home victory over Middlesbrough. Away form has not been helping their bid to return to the Premier League with ten matches lost this season.
Only one of their last seven away league games has been won and five of the last eight have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
We go for that statistic to come up in this match.

Our Watford vs Swansea Prediction
It's been a strange season for Watford, especially at Vicarage Road. Nine of their first 11 home league fixtures were won but they've lost six of the seven that have followed, including one to Millwall at the weekend.
Can Swansea City take advantage though? They struggle on the road with ten league defeats and one win in the last seven. Their away games do regularly see at least three goals scored. Our Watford v Swansea City prediction is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
