The Hawthorns will stage this weekend’s Matchday 5 Championship fixture between West Bromwich Albion and Watford. Both teams have scored in seven of the last eight matches between these sides, and we’re going for that trend to continue as our main prediction. 

West Bromwich Albion have experienced a mixed start to the season, winning their first three games across all competitions before losing two and drawing one of their last three matches. 

The Baggies played to a 1-1 draw against Charlton in midweek. They have yet to keep a clean sheet this term, a notable dip after shutting out opponents in five of their final six matches last season. 

The hosts have taken four points from their two home games this season (W1 D1) and are now unbeaten in their last nine league matches at the Hawthorns dating back to February 21.

Meanwhile, Watford made a promising start to the season by beating Southampton in their opening match, but they enter this weekend winless in their last four across all competitions (D2 L2). 

The Hornets lost 2-0 to Swansea on the road on Tuesday night. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 league matches since March 21 and conceded 24 goals in this period. 

The visitors are also winless in their last eight away league games and have not won a match at this venue since April 2016, when both these sides were in the Premier League.

Our West Brom vs Watford Prediction

While West Bromwich Albion have made a solid start to the season, they have had to rely on outscoring opponents, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their four league matches this term. 

Watford have only managed one win this season, and their away record - winless in their last eight away games - does not inspire much confidence in their chances here. However, the visitors have only failed to score in one of their last eight matches at this venue, and we feel they will find the back of the net in this one. Our West Brom vs Watford prediction is BTTS.
