One of the 21st-round fixtures in the Championship will be played on Sunday at Vicarage Road, where Watford hosts West Bromwich Albion. Here's a bet suggestion with great odds.
Match Preview
The "Hornets" started the season well but suffered several defeats in October, currently sitting eighth in the table. After 19 matches, Watford has recorded nine wins and six losses, earning 31 points — 11 points behind leaders Sheffield United.
In their last game, Watford visited Hull City and settled for a 1-1 draw, their second consecutive league stalemate. However, the "Hornets" are unbeaten in five matches (two wins, three draws). On home turf, they are formidable, winning seven out of nine games and remaining undefeated. Only Leeds and Sheffield United have secured more home points this season.
West Brom, meanwhile, occupies sixth place after 20 games, trailing the leaders by 10 points. They are closely pursued by Middlesbrough, who are just one point behind.
In their most recent match, West Brom defeated Coventry City 2-0 at home, extending their unbeaten league run to 12 games. However, despite this impressive streak, they have only managed two wins in that period.
