Watford will look to build on a 3-2 win over Norwich as they return to Vicarage Road aiming to strengthen their impressive home form. As they welcome rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday to their Vicarage Road, our prediction leans toward a 2-0 home win. The Hornets have been notably stronger on home soil, averaging 2.20 points per game and scoring 2.00 goals per home match, backed by a healthy 1.75 xG. Even though Amari’I Bell’s injury could be a blow and Giorgi Chakvetadze limped off against Norwich, Watford’s attacking depth and fluidity should prevent a significant drop in performance. Defensively, they remain vulnerable at times, but with just 1.00 goal conceded on average at home, they tend to manage games efficiently when playing in front of their supporters.
Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, are hit by financial problems. With 0% win rate, 0.20 points per game, and just 0.60 goals scored on average, they continue to struggle at both ends of the pitch. Their away record is equally worrying, producing only 0.25 PPG and a modest 0.50 goals scored per match. The injury crisis—featuring Kobacki, Siqueira, Shipston, Weaver, and Bernard—combined with Aidan Morris’ absence, leaves Danny Röhl short of options and continuity.
With Watford strong at home and Wednesday lacking momentum and depth, Home Win is our main pick for this matchup, alongside Watford Over 1.5 goals and BTTS - No.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 19:45.
