Two sides headed in completely different directions, Sheffield Wednesday and Watford will face off in their next Championship assignment this Tuesday. The hosts, Sheffield Wednesday, are already relegated, while Watford are ninth, six points off the top six. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
The gulf between these two sides is stark; Wednesday have been the poorest team this season, and off-field issues haven't helped. They come here with one win in their 36 league matches plus a -51 goal difference.
With 27 defeats, the Owls have lost the most games in the Championship.
Watford, currently in the top half, are also eyeing a top-six place. They’re targeting a first win in three against Wednesday, even though they are unbeaten in this fixture in the last 10 meetings.
The last two meetings between these sides produced 1-1 draws. Five of their latest eight meetings ended in draws, but Watford will feel they can win this one.
The Hornets are coming off a 2-1 win against Bristol City and will be gunning for a second straight away win. With just three victories in their last 10 games on the road, Watford will seek some improvement here.
In their latest visit to Sheffield Wednesday, Watford scored six times.
