Bristol City vs Watford Predictions

• Bristol City have taken nine points from their last ten league matches
• Watford have won four of their last five league matches
• Bristol City have won one of their last seven home matches (D2, L4)

Hornets flying under Bilic

Slavan Bilic was the next cab off the rank at Watford and the Croatian is doing a fine job with the Hornets. Watford have won four of their last five matches, a run which has seen them assume a spot in the Championship’s play-offs. Bilic has now won six of his ten matches in charge and with the squad of players at his disposal, it would come as no surprise to see Watford challenging for automatic promotion this season. Watford are expected to take all the beating on Saturday, when they travel to Ashton Gate, to take on a Bristol City side who are on a woeful run of form.

Pearson under the pump

Nigel Pearson acknowledged in midweek that his position is under scrutiny given the clubs poor recent run of results. The Robins have taken two points from their last four league matches and bombed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek at the hands of League One side, Lincoln. Bristol City made a bright start to the season but have taken just nine points from their last ten league matches, and now find themselves just three points above the drop zone. Nigel Pearson’s side have won one of their last seven home matches (D2, L4) and it is hard to make any case for The Robins against an inform Watford side on Saturday.

Watford to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Saturday’s game, with a 2-1 away victory forming the correct score prediction.
