Watford vs Leeds Predictions

• Watford’s sole win at home in 2024 came against National League Chesterfield in the FA Cup
• Leeds have not lost a league came since the turn of the new year
• The Whites ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture

Whites can stay top of the pile with victory

The late kick-0ff in the Championship sees title and promotion chasing Leeds travel to Vicarage Road to take on Watford and Daniel Farke’s men will be confident in continuing their scintillating form in 2024.

The Whites have won 12 of their 13 matches in the league this calendar year – only dropping points in 1-1 draw with West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield – and this run has seen Leeds usurp Leicester at the top of the Championship table, although this lead is only marginal by just a single goal.

Watford meanwhile – barring a miraculous upturn in form – will likely remain in the second tier of English football for another season it was has been a thoroughly disappointing campaign for the Hornets, with six defeats across their last nine contributing to their current 13th-placed position.

Leeds have kept clean sheets in six of their last nine away games in all competitions and this defensive strength will put them in good stead against an attack that has failed to score more than once in any of their last six league games. After winning the reverse fixture 3-0 at Elland Road, a similar scoreline could be on the cards in Hertfordshire.
