Watford are aiming to maintain their winning run in the 2026-27 season when they travel to Wales to lock horns with Wrexham at the Racecourse Stadium on matchday two of the EFL Championship. Last season, the visitors avoided defeat in their last two league games against Wrexham and given their impressive start to the current campaign, our prediction favors them in the double chance market.
Wrexham have yet to hit their stride this season as they enter this clash winless in their last two matches across all competitions.
The Reds suffered a minor setback in their opening match against Cardiff City settling for a 1-1 draw on the road, despite Kieffer Moore opening the scoring in the first half.
Prior to this, a heartbreak unfolded in the EFL Cup when they lost 1-0 against Middlesbrough in the first round.
Watford are on cloud nine with their impressive start to the 2026-27 Championship season placing them in sixth place, eight places above their opponents in this impending encounter.
The Hornets' very first competitive match began in the EFL Cup against third-tier outfit Crawley Town. Marc Bola's goal deep into stoppage time was enough to see the team secure a 1-0 home victory.
Under new management, Alessio Dionisi's men did well to build on that momentum as they followed that result with a 2-1 home victory against Southampton in their league opener.

Our Wrexham vs Watford Prediction
Wrexham could be in for a long 90 minutes this weekend as they take on a side they've struggled to defeat in four encounters across all competitions. Last season in the EFL Championship, they failed to win either match and with their poor start to the current campaign, little can be expected from them in this one.
Watford are riding a wave of confidence, winning two consecutive matches. That momentum alone could make them a difficult opponent to handle. We expect them to avoid defeat in this closely contested affair. Our Wrexham vs Watford prediction: Draw or Watford.
