      Watford to Win

      Reason for tip

      Watford look a strong bet at Ewood Park against a Blackburn side low on confidence. The Hornets sit seven places clear of the relegation zone in the Championship and arrive in better shape, having won their last two away games and lost just one of their last six on the road. In contrast, Blackburn have gone six league games without a win and have taken just one victory from their last ten. With Watford more reliable at both ends, the away win stands out.

      Watford 2-0

      Reason for tip

      A controlled Watford victory appeals in the correct-score market. Blackburn have struggled badly in front of goal at home, scoring only 13 times in 13 league matches, and they have already lost three games this season by a 2-0 scoreline. Their defence has also been exposed, conceding 20 goals at Ewood Park. Recent head-to-heads between these sides have often been low scoring, and Watford’s improved away form suggests they can keep things tight while doing enough to win by two clear goals.

      Blackburn Rovers vs Watford Predictions

      Watford can pile more pressure on struggling Blackburn

      Take Watford to beat an out-of-form Blackburn at Ewood Park on Saturday.

      Watford are 15 places above Blackburn in the table, with 14 points separating the two sides. The hosts sit 22nd having won seven and lost 13 of their 27 games this season, while Watford are seventh with 11 wins, nine draws and seven defeats.

      The home defence has looked vulnerable. It is four Championship games since Blackburn last recorded a shutout, and they have conceded 20 goals at home this season – an average of 1.54 goals per game from 13 matches.

      The hosts have struggled to find the back of the net this season. Blackburn have scored just 13 goals in 13 home games, averaging a goal a game.

      The home team are struggling to get results, with Blackburn having not won in six Championship games. They have lost three of their last four matches.

      Watford are in better form than Blackburn. They have won their last two Championship away games and have only lost one of their last six on the road, while Blackburn have won just once in their last ten matches.

      A 2-0 away win for Watford looks a decent correct-score option. There has been fewer than three goals in five of the last seven Championship clashes between these sides, and Blackburn have suffered three defeats by a 2-0 scoreline this season.
