West Bromwich Albion vs Watford Predictions

West Brom can punish poor travellers

West Brom should be backed to get a home victory over Watford at The Hawthorns on Saturday. The visitors have lost six times in their last seven away games in the Championship.

They are seven places above Watford in the table, but just two points separate the two sides. West Brom, seventh with two wins, one draw and one defeat, are ahead of 14th-placed Watford, who have won once, drawn twice and lost once.

West Brom have been in goalscoring form at home, finding the net in five consecutive games. They last failed to score in a Championship match five games ago and have averaged three goals in their recent 3-1 victory over Burnley.

They are unbeaten in nine home games in the Championship.

Watford have failed to win any of their last eight Championship away games and have gone nine matches without tasting victory.

The visitors have struggled defensively in recent games, with Watford failing to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Championship games. They have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in 11 straight away matches.

There have been under 2.5 goals in Watford’s last three Championship matches and they lost 2-0 to Swansea in their latest game, so a 2-0 home win for West Brom looks the best correct-score bet.
