Our prediction for this Championship match:
Swansea City and Watford take on each other at Swansea.com Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Swans aim to move closer to the playoffs places, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Russell Martin’s troops. Liam Walsh remains in the treatment room, while Michael Obafemi should recover in time to face the Hornets.
The visiting side, on the other hand, failed to impress in a Boxing Day loss to Millwall, and, to make things even worse for Slaven Bilic, defender Hassane Kamara is banned for the Swansea game. As previously mentioned, a close match is on the horizon in South Wales, and we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Cleverley, Gosling, Hause, Louza, Manaj, Morris, and Pollock have been struggling with injuries of late for the away side.
