Head to Vicarage Road to watch one of this afternoon's many Championship matches! Stoke City will try to regain its place in the top six by winning away at Watford, a team currently languishing in mid-table at the time of writing. To do so, Mark Robins' side will need to build on the positives from last week's win over Swansea. That 2-1 victory ended a run of three consecutive defeats, including a humiliating 4-0 loss at Stoke City. The Potters were reeling, but they found the recipe to get back on track at just the right moment. Now, the red and whites are expected to perform away from home, which is currently their weak point...

Watford still has its sights set on the top six. But if they want to get there, they need to turn their many draws into wins! Despite being almost undefeated since November 1 (one loss), Javi Garcia's men have taken “only” 14 points out of a possible 27. The Hornets find themselves stuck in a rut and remain in the anonymity of what is known as the mid-table in English soccer. After two consecutive draws, it's time for the yellow and blacks to rediscover the taste of three points. And to do that, they'll need to keep their first clean sheet in 50 days!

Our Watford vs Stoke Prediction

Stoke City are not comfortable away from home. This trip to Vicarage Road looks like a trap, as the Hornets haven't lost at home in a very long time! And when they're having a good day, it's hard to resist their sting. Irregular and less impressive than at the start of the season, the Potters are likely to have a difficult afternoon away from home.

Our prediction for Watford vs Stoke City is: Watford to score first!
