Watford vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

Hornets can sign off with a win

Watford can be backed to beat Sheffield Wednesday at home in the Championship on Saturday. The visitors are unreliable market leaders – they have failed to win nine of their last ten games as favourites.

Sheffield Wednesday are one place above Watford in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts are 13th with 16 wins and 21 defeats, while Wednesday have won 15 and lost 18.

Watford have avoided defeat in nine of their last ten Championship games against Sheffield Wednesday, who have won just one of their last eight matches.

Watford have kept five clean sheets in the last seven Championship meetings with Sheffield Wednesday and have shut out the visitors in four of their last six home games.

There have been over 2.5 goals in 24 of Sheffield Wednesday’s 45 Championship matches this season, and a high-scoring game looks likely here. Watford may be able to edge out the visitors in a 2-1 win, with five of their 16 league victories coming by that scoreline.
