Watford will head to South Wales on Saturday afternoon for a match in the Championship with Cardiff. The Bluebirds are 20th with the Hornets 6th leading up to our prediction on the contest.
Both of these teams are far stronger at home than they are on the road which is a big plus for Cardiff who won four straight at the Cardiff City Stadium from October 1 to November 2. That form has slipped away, losing to Blackburn and QPR on their own patch since.
The latter of those will have been particularly disappointing given the R's are below them in the league table. They failed to score there but this looks a good opportunity to get back in the goals.
There is not another team in the top 18 in the league who have conceded more times than Watford. Nor is there a team in the top half who have picked up fewer points on the road this season, yet they have seven wins and two draws in nine at home.
Watford really needs to find a level of form away from Vicarage Road that approaches their home form to keep their playoff challenge going.

Our Cardiff vs Watford Prediction
This is a tricky one. Cardiff have been in and out at home, but the visiting team have one of the worst defences in the entire division when they are away from home. That should help give Cardiff plenty of chances to net at home.
Despite their poor work at the back, Watford have netted 13 times away from home. Only five teams have conceded more at home than Cardiff so that should give Watford opportunities. As such, our Cardiff vs Watford prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
