Match Preview & Team News

Watford FC had a couple of questionable appearances after the World Cup, but overall they are doing a fine job in holding 3^rd place in the standings. This is why we were surprised to see 9/10 odds offered on home victory. The Hornets just recently defeated Norwich City and Blackpool, totally not deserving a role of big underdog. Read our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

These two opponents have already met once this season back in August 2022. It was a narrow encounter, eventually won by Watford FC 2-1. Middlesbrough had an early lead granted by Rodrigo Muniz, but hosts pulled a comeback thanks to goals of Sarr and Bayo. Boro hosted Hornets 12 times in the past, and they are ahead 4-3 in terms of victories. Middlesbrough earned four back to back wins from 26^th December to 14^th January against Wigan, Blackburn, Birmingham City and Millwall, scoring total of ten goals. That got them up to 6^th place with 42 points, just two behind 3^rd placed Watford. Visitors failed to impress last weekend in front of the home crowd, ending the match against Rotherham United 1-1.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

Seven out of the last eight head to head matches between these opponents ended with two goals total or less. We are not expecting to see a lot of action in terms of goals on Saturday, so Under 2.5 FT seems like a nice fit at 4/5.

Betting Preview

As for the secondary option, we are going to place low stake bet on the draw. Both sides would benefit from it and probably stayed inside the top six zone. The current price is 23/10.
