Prediction: 3-1
Rotherham
Tuesday’s Championship game at Vicarage Road pits together Watford and Rotherham United. The Hornets aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Cardiff City, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Millers on Matchday 17. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah returns to contention after serving his ban in the defeat to the Bluebirds. Rotherham United, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the midweek clash, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures.
In their last encounter at Vicarage Road the Hornets outclassed the Millers 3-0, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Vladimir Ivic’s troops. Nigerian duo Dele-Bashiru – Success remains in the recovery room for the hosts, while MacDonald, Ogbene, Robertson, and Sadlier are all likely to miss the game through injuries for the visitors.
