Blackburn Rovers play host to Watford at Ewood Park on matchday 45 in the Championship. Blackburn are ninth in the league standings, while Watford are 12th. Here's our match prediction. 

Blackburn are still mathematically in the promotion play-off race in the Championship. However, their situation is a bit tricky as they have two teams ahead of them challenging for the promotion play-off spot (6th place).

Blackburn, though, will be happy with how the season turned out for them. They finished in 19th place last season and are now on the verge of securing a top seven finish in the current campaign. 

The Rovers are unbeaten in their last four league games and have won three straight heading into this match. Their recent match was against Sunderland, and they won 1-0 on the road.

Watford have also been impressive this season as they are set to conclude the Championship season three places better than last season's 15th place finish.

The Hornets' league performance has left much to be desired. They have won just one of their last seven games (D1, L5), and by the looks of things, they are expected to struggle in this one.

On Easter Monday, they suffered a 1-0 away league defeat to Portsmouth and will be without defender Kevin Keben for this one after being shown a red card in the 57th minute. This result also marked their third straight defeat.

Our Blackburn vs Watford Prediction

Blackburn Rovers have been on fire in the Championship and are deservedly favourites to pick up all three points in front of their home crowd. They have also performed well at home in this fixture, losing just three of their last eight home games (W4, D1).

Watford are devoid of motivation heading into this clash. The visiting team has lost three straight matches. They will be without their talented defender Kevin Keben, who was shown a red card in the last match. This could leave their backline vulnerable, leading to a high-scoring affair. Our Blackburn Rovers v Watford prediction: over 2.5.
