Prediction: 2-0
Watford
Blackburn Rovers and Watford take on each other at Ewood Park in what could be crucial game for playoffs-chasing Riversiders. Blackburn are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. All Dennis, Carter, Beck, Kargbo, Leonard, Weimann, and Wharton are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Hornets, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run and with little to play for in the season finale. With Watford being low on spirits ahead of the trip to Lancashire, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up vital three points from the match. In the first half of the season, Watford defeated Blackburn at Vicarage Road, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Defender Kevin Keben is banned for the match, while all Baah, Chakvetadze, and Larouci miss out with injuries.
