Our prediction for this Championship match:
Out-of-sorts Wigan will try to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Watford in the Championship round 18. The Latics have been slipping down the standings week by week, and they must be low on spirits ahead of Saturday’s game. Gwion Edwards remain on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon problem, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Hornets, on the other hand, produced their best display of the season at the weekend, with the team rolling over Luton Town 4-0. Watford aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and we predict that they will take advantage of Wigan’s poor form. A man to watch in the away side will be pacey winger Ismaila Sarr, who found the net in the last league match, while all Jeremy Ngakia, Tom Cleverley, and Rey Manaj are out of contention with injuries.
