by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Watford are only 13th in the Championship but they are still in with a good chance of being promoted. Tuesday sees them welcome bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday to Vicarage Road. Read our match prediction below.
The Hornets have won six of their ten home league games this season. That's the second best home record in the Championship this season. Just three points separate them from the final promotion play-off position.
The weekend saw Watford beat Norwich City 3-2 at home. A good win considering they trailed 1-0 and 2-1. That ended a run of two games without a win for Watford and they will be confident of another victory on Tuesday.
Sheffield Wednesday received more bad news last week with another points deduction. That's 18 in total and they are on -10 for the season, a massive 27 from safety. The best news at Christmas is the mere fact the club is still alive with new owners on the way.
Their latest game was at Blackburn Rovers. They were 1-0 down when the match was abandoned due to bad weather. The Owls have lost four successive league games and gone 12 league games without a win with just four points earned.
We tip Watford to win this match.
