Saturday’s football game at The Hawthorns pits together West Bromwich Albion and Watford, with the Baggies looking to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Charlton extended their winless run to three games in all competitions. West Brom dominated large spells but were unable to turn their superiority into three points. Rabby Nzingoula is pushing for a starting berth after an impressive cameo against Charlton, while Miley Johnston remains sidelined. The Baggies have won 75% of their last 10 home matches, scoring 2.75 goals per game.
Watford, meanwhile, are also struggling for consistency, having failed to win their previous four matches and suffering a 2-0 defeat at Swansea in midweek. Omar Haktab Traore was forced off with an injury in that loss, potentially giving Branimir Mlacic an opportunity to step into the starting XI. The Hornets have failed to win any of their last 10 away matches, while conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game on the road.
WBA have turned their stadium into a real fortress and given Watford's recent struggles, Home Win should be considered, alongside WBA Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (63% of the last 16 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
