Derby County vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

 by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions

Part of the Championship action on Saturday afternoon will see Derby taking on Watford. The Rams are 18th ahead of this match while the Hornets are 8th. How do we see this playing out? Read on for our prediction.

It has been a streaky season so far for Derby. They have lost four of their last five games in the league but the one they won was at home to West Brom which was a solid effort.

They have won half of their home league games this season, six of 12, picking up a pair of draws. Derby has not conceded many at home in the league but they have drip-fed it at a goal a game, conceding eight in their last eight.

Watford have been poor on the road this season, winning just two of their 13 and drawing only three. No team in the top 16 in the division have lost as many games away from home as Watford.

Although they have been struggling for results, they have been finding the back of the net. Their most recent away game saw them at Cardiff where they drew 1-1.

Our Derby County vs Watford Prediction

Derby's forwards will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of Watford heading to the midlands. The Hornets have conceded 27 times away from home this season, the most of any team outside of the bottom five.

Derby were shut out for the first time at home in their most recent outing. That should motivate them to push forward. Watford has a fair scoring record on the road so our Derby vs Watford prediction is for both teams to score.
