Prediction: 2-2
Watford
All eyes will be on the Hawthorns when West Bromwich Albion and Watford go head to head in the Championship derby. The Baggies kicked off the new domestic campaign with a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough, with summer signing John Swift opening his goal-scoring account. The 27-year-old will be the man to watch in the home team, while head coach Steve Bruce should have a full squad to choose from.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield United. Watford aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Imran Louza remains on the sidelines with injury, while fellow midfielder Juraj Kucka is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Callum Robinson):
Born in Northampton, Callum Robinson started his career at Aston Villa. Having gone through the youth ranks with the Villans, Robinson was given his first-team debut in 2013. As a product of the Aston Villa academy, Robinson unfortunately never got a chance to prove his worth at the club and ended up playing no less than 4 league appearances during his three-year stay at Villa Park.
Various loan spells – at Preston North End on two occasions and Bristol City – brought mixed fortunes for the striker up until 2016 when he sealed a permanent move with the Lillywhites. Robinson represented England at U16, U17, U19 and U20 levels but raised plenty of eyebrows when he declared for the Republic of Ireland in March 2018 through his late grandmother who was from Monaghan.
The striker made his senior team breakthrough in Republic of Ireland’s 2-2 draw with Celtic in Scott Brown’s testimonial match and will be hoping to prove doubters wrong and prove his motive is bigger than career opportunism.
