Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Vicarage Road when Watford and Swansea City face each other in the Championship round 46. Despite suffering a 2-0 loss at Brentford, Watford secured automatic promotion, and they are now on a quest to put icing on the cake on a successful season. Both Cleverley and Hungbo, who suffered injuries in the 2-0 loss to Brentford, are unlikely to feature against Swansea City. The likes of Deeney, Kiko, and Dele-Bashiru are sidelined with injuries as well.
The Swans, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Derby County. The Welsh outfit have already booked their place in the playoffs, and seeing that Watford are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on the Hornets. Ghana international Andre Ayew, who has been struggling with injury of late, is unlikely to be risked in the last game of the regular season.
Highlighted Player (Andre Gray):
Wolverhampton-born striker Andre Gray is a product of the Shrewsberry Town youth academy who hit the limelight during his two loan spell with Luton Town. A no-nonsense forward endured a difficult childhood which left him with a four-inch scar on his left cheek after he got stabbed in the face in a gang-related incident back in 2011.
Fortunately, Andre Grey was pulled out of the gang lifestyle by his mother and close friends and focused on his football career. Having scored 57 goals in 111 appearances with The Hatters, Gray was prized away by Brentford in a club-record deal at the time. Just a season later Gray moved to Burnley where he hit 23 goals in 41 Championship appearances to emerge as a vital cog in his club’s Premier League push in 2014/15. After nine goals in 32 top-flight appearances with he Clarets, Gray was transferred to Watford for yet another club-record fee.
The Englishman’s prolific goalscoring record in the Football League was brought to a halt, however, with Gray scoring just five goals in 31 Premier League appearances during the 2017/18 season.
