THE PREDICTION
Birmingham made it two Championship away wins on the bounce with an unlikely 1-2 triumph away to Reading. Here they return home to face high flying Watford, with the Hornets sitting just below the top two. At St Andrew’s, the Blues have struggled recently, losing three of their last four home matches and it remains to be seen how much the last two away trips have taken out of them, despite the positive results. When taking into account Watford having two home games in this past week, alongside their superior squad depth and Vladimir Ivic’s men are in a much better position to cope with the turnaround of matches than their opponents, which may lead to them picking up all three points here so consider the visitors draw no bet.
