Watford and West Ham United will meet in the Championship on Saturday afternoon. Five goals were scored between these sides when they last played at Vicarage Road, and our prediction is that both teams will get on the scoresheet in this one as well.
Watford come into this weekend’s fixture off the back of a shocking 5-1 hammering by Peterborough, which sent them crashing out of the Carabao Cup in the second round on Tuesday.
However, the Hornets have made a solid start to their league season, beating Southampton in the opening week before taking a point against Wrexham (1-1) last weekend on the road.
The hosts ended last season winless in their final four home games, but they have won two of their first three at the start of this campaign (L1).
Meanwhile, West Ham United booked their spot in the third round of the EFL Cup with a commanding 4-1 victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium earlier this week.
However, the Hammers have made a disapointing start to the league season, drawing their opener 2-2 against Burnley before suffering a 2-1 defeat at home to Charlton last weekend.
The visitors’ poor away form was well documented last season, but this has been a happy hunting ground for them, as they have won their last three visits to this venue.

Our Watford vs West Ham Prediction
After impressive performances in their first two league games, Watford shipped five goals against Peterborough on Tuesday night, and it will be interesting to see how they respond to that defeat this weekend.
West Ham are still expected to challenge for promotion back to the top flight this season, but their defensive performances over the early stages of the campaign have been far from convincing. Matches between these two have produced goals in the past, and we are expecting that to be the case in this one as well. Our Watford vs West Ham prediction is BTTS.
