1st Prediction For Watford FC vs West Bromwich Albion: Watford FC to win 44/25
Tom Cleverley has transformed Watford from a side battling relegation to a team pushing for promotion in less than 12 months. The Hornets’ home record this season has been particularly outstanding. They have won seven and drawn two of their nine games at Vicarage Road and only Leeds (who have played two more home games than Watford) and Sheffield United have picked up more points than them at home. A key component of this good home record has been Watford’s defence. They have conceded just four times in those nine home games and they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four encounters in Hertfordshire. Although both teams are unbeatn in their last five games and West Brom have the second best away record in the Championship, Tom Cleverley’s side should have the edge on Sunday.2nd Prediction For Watford FC vs West Bromwich Albion: Watford to win and both teams to score: yes 97/20
A riskier, but potentially more fruitful prediction would be predicting Watford to win and both teams to score. West Brom have been in good form in front of goal recently as they have found the back of the net seven times in their last five matches. This is partly due to Baggies winger Tom Fellows who has been one of the outstanding young players in the Championship this season. He ranks second in the league for big chances created with eight in 20 games. He also has seven assists this season despite being deployed as a wing-back at times. Additionally, central midfielder Alex Mowatt is having his best goalscoring season in a long time as he already has four goals in 20 games, already doubling his tally from last season. It seems likely that the Watford defence will be penetrated, even if the Hornets will eventually come out on top.3rd Prediction For Watford FC vs West Bromwich Albion: Josh Maja to score at any time 39/20
Although the likes of Fellows and Mowatt are having good seasons, West Brom striker Josh Maja is undoubtedly the Baggies’ biggest goal threat. Maja joined West Brom from Bordeaux in August 2023 but injuries plagued his first campaign in the midlands. However, the 25-year-old has has revitalised his West Brom career this year as he has scored the second most goals in the Championship, having found the back of the net ten times in 20 games. The former Sunderland man has gone on a slightly barren run recently, not scoring in his last four games, but he will be eager to get back to his best form against Watford.

Furthermore, both teams come into the game in good form as neither of them have lost in their last five games; in that time, Watford have picked up nine points whilst West Brom have picked up seven.
