Our prediction for this Championship match:
Watford and Preston square off against each other at Vicarage Road in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Hornets have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Kwadwo Baah and Jeremy Ngakia remain on the sidelines with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Lilywhites aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Birmingham City. Preston are only five points behind the playoffs berth and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Ryan Ledson, Brad Potts, and Ched Evans are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side. In the first half of the season Watford rolled over Preston 5-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon.
