In-form Swansea will host Watford next in their Championship encounter, both teams holding on unbeaten starts in the league. The hosts are third going into this game, six places ahead of Watford. With a good home run in this fixture, our prediction backs Swansea to win.
Swansea are aiming for a return to the topflight and their start to the season has reflected as much. A first-round elimination from the League Cup wasn’t their ideal start to the season, but that has since been addressed.
The Swans have recollected themselves and posted two wins and a draw in their first three league games. Two straight clean sheets ahead of this game enhance their rating as the strongest defence so far.
Watford are also unbeaten, but they have only managed one win and two draws in their opening three league outings. Unlike Swansea, Watford kicked off their season strongly, winning the first two games.
It all started with a 1-0 win at Crawley in the League Cup before they beat Southampton 2-1 in the Championship. Since then, however, in the three matches that have followed, they failed to replicate that, drawing twice.
In their only defeat, sandwiched between league games, was a 5-1 thrashing by Peterborough. That was their last showing in the cup competition.

Our Swansea vs Watford Prediction
Swansea are favorites to extend their good run in the Championship so far. After their season-opening defeat in the League Cup, the Swans have repurposed, and their focus in the league is paying off. A win here could see them go top, and the Welsh side needs no more motivation.
A Watford side looking to address their own shortcomings in the season and in this fixture will not make it easy for Swansea. However, with a poor away record, we still back Swansea to progress. Our prediction for Swansea v Watford is that Swansea wins.
