Watford and Middlesbrough square off at Vicarage Road in what promises to be one of the most exciting fixtures of the Championship round 3. The Hornets have been performing well at home lately, eyeing their third consecutive victory in front of their supporters. Defender James Abankwah is banned, while Chakvetadze, Grieves, and Baah remain in the treatment room. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Boro's visit.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, aim to continue their promotion push, but they face a tough challenge against a side that rarely drops points at home. Both George Edmundson and Darragh Lenihan are sidelined for the visitors, which could limit their defensive options. Given Watford’s strong home record and Boro’s attacking quality, this game has all the makings of a thrilling encounter. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 1 November 2025 at 15:00.
