Prediction: 1-1
Stoke City
Wafford will be looking to finish 2023 in style when they take on Stoke City on Friday evening. The Hornets have been impressive in front of goal of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Jamal Lewis limped off with injury in the Boxing Day defeat to Bristol City, with Matheus Martins likely to replace him in the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Potters, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Birmingham City. Stoke City did well to put an end to their nine-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but beating Watford at Vicarage Road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Frank Fielding, Enda Stevens, Tyrese Campbell, Ben Wilmot, and Emre Tezgel are injured for the visiting team.
