Watford and Blackburn Rovers are yet to find their footing four matches into the 2025/26 Championship campaign. They are set to face off on matchday five, with Watford hosting the encounter. Read on to find our prediction of the match.
Back-to-back draws in their last two matches have denied Watford the chance to rise to the top half. Before they closed up temporarily for the international break, the Hornets twice battled from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Southampton.
They had earlier been denied in similar fashion by Swansea, leaving them with just one win in their five matches thus far. The hosts have no clean sheet in five matches, but they only failed to score once.
In the last four meetings between these teams, each won twice. Coming into this one, Blackburn look likely to fail in their bid for three points. It is all based on their recent form.
They are coming into the game on a poor run; the 2-0 loss to Norwich ahead of the international break was their fourth defeat in five matches across all competitions.
Blackburn narrowly missed a playoff place last season, finishing just two points below the top six. This time they are among the favorites for promotion, but they have to start improving.
