Prediction: 1-2
Watford
Blackburn Rovers and Watford square off against each other at Ewood Park in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Riversiders aim to recover from a massive 4-0 loss to Southampton and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Hornets. Blackburn are tough to beat at home, but keep in mind that all Tyrhus Dolan, Joe Rankin-Costello, Aynsley Pears, Ryan Hedges, and Sam Gallagher remain in the recovery room.
Watford, meanwhile, aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Preston. Even though Blackburn are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to place our bets on the Hornets, who looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend. Valerien Ismael should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s encounter, which is yet another reason why away triumph should be considered.
