Matchday nine in the EFL Championship sees Watford take on Burnley at Vicarage Road. Neither side has been in promising form heading into this clash, but with the visitors seeing both teams score in each of their last eight league games, our prediction is for both teams to find the net.
Watford went into the international break on the back of two consecutive league defeats against Stoke City (2-1) and Bristol City (1-0).
Things are even worse when looking at the bigger picture, as they have won once in their last seven games. There is reason to believe a turnaround could be just around the corner given their promising run at Vicarage Road this season.
The Hornets were on a three-match unbeaten league run at this venue (W2, D1) before their latest defeat to Stoke City. This should give them reason to be optimistic about a response.
Burnley, meanwhile, are the only team in the Championship this season that has yet to record a win. Nicky Hayen's men are winless in eight games and are anchored at the bottom of the table with four points.
The Clarets played out a 1-1 home draw against Derby County before the international break. It was their third draw in five league games.
Away from home, their form has been erratic with three losses in four outings, suggesting they could struggle again.

Our Watford vs Burnley Prediction
Watford and Burnley are both in poor form and neither side can be trusted to step up to the plate. However, this encounter could be filled with goals given that the last two Championship encounters between the two sides last season ended 2-1 in favour of the visitors.
Watford may be performing better at home this season in the league but the failure to keep a clean sheet in four of those encounters has us backing both teams to score. Also, Burnley have seen their last eight league games this season end with BTTS. Our Watford vs Burnley prediction: BTTS.
