West Brom vs Watford Prediction & Match Preview

West Brom will look to extend their seven-game unbeaten thread on Monday afternoon. They play host to Watford in one of the most interesting games of Matchday No 40 at The Hawthorns.

• West Brom won 13, drew 3, and lost 3 of 19 home outings in this term of the Championship.
• The Baggies are unbeaten in the last seven league outings.
• Watford allowed 27 shots in the match against out-of-form Birmingham on Friday.

The Baggies are fifth in the league table at the moment. They have a seven-point advantage on seventh-placed Coventry. Nevertheless, Coventry have been on a tremendous run of form of late and they also have a game in hand. This leaves West Brom without a room for errors in the final run in.

Watford’s visit will represent a serious challenge for Carlos Corberan’s men on Monday. The Spanish manager has seen improvements in his team’s defensive displays in recent outings. The Baggies conceded only one goal in the last two league outings against Bristol City and Millwall.

Watford finally ended their four-game winless streak by beating Birmingham City 1-0 on the road on Friday. Emmanuel Dennis’ early goal made the difference between the two teams. Nevertheless, the Hornets are 14th in the league standings and it is a bit too late for their potential push for the promotional playoffs in the final nine rounds of the regular season.

West Brom vs Watford Head-to-head

We’ve witnessed a fantastic four-goal thriller in a 2-2 draw in the reverse match between these two sides in September last year at Vicarage Road.

West Brom have a strong home record in this matchup. They won 9, drew 5, and lost only 3 of the previous 17 home outings against the Hornets.

Both teams were on target in each of the previous three H2H encounters.

West Brom vs Watford Prediction

West Brom go into this as the form favourites and we see a lot of reasons to back them to claim spoils here. The Baggies have been phenomenal in front of their fans so far in the season. They won 13, drew 3, and lost only 3 of 19 home outings in this term of the Championship. Corberan’s men are undefeated in seven consecutive league games. They have won three and drawn two of the previous five matches along the way. Watford lost seven of their previous ten games in all competitions. They did not look impressive even in a 1-0 win at Birmingham City three days ago. The home win is well worth backing at the 1.90 odds.

Watford allowed as many as 27 shots in the 1-0 win over out-of-form Birmingham City on Friday. They shipped two goals in the home loss to Coventry City before the international break. West Brom won eight of the last ten home outings across competitions. They scored two or more goals in four of the last five league affairs. We see the value in backing the Over 2.5 goals pick at the 2.00 odds.
