THE PREDICTION
Both these sides come into this match off the back of hard fought away wins in midweek. Whilst Watford picked up a 0-1 win at Preston, Derby were thankful for a 94th minute winner by Andre Wisdom that secured a 1-2 victory over Wycombe. Wayne Rooney’s side head to Vicarage Road off the back of having won five in their last six Championship fixtures. The Hornets however, represent arguably their toughest challenge yet, having smashed Bristol City 6-0 in their most recent home game. This encounter is expected to be a lot closer and could go either way. The hosts however, have the stronger to cope with the fast turnaround in fixtures and with home advantage in their favour, should have the edge over the Rams here. Consider Watford draw no bet.
