Blackburn Rovers vs Watford top free betting tips
The two teams joined on thirty-one points go to battle just before Christmas. Blackburn Rovers who will welcome Watford to Ewood Park are currently sat in eleventh position having won two and lost three of their previous five matches while away side Watford is in ninth with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their previous five matches. Blackburn's Sammie Szmodics is the league's top scorer having scored fourteen times so far this term.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Both of these teams have managed to convert a lot of shots to goals in recent matches but have also leaked a lot of goals. Watford are without a clean sheet in their previous six matches while Blackburn Rovers are five matches without a clean sheet. Blackburn has scored ten times in their previous six matches while Watford has scored twelve times in their previous five.
Total goals prediction: Over 3.5 Goals
We are expecting plenty of goals in this match. Watford seems to have very much clicked recently and has scored five goals in one match on two occasions recently, beating Rotherham 5-0 seven games ago before beating Preston 5-1 in their most recent match with Watford scoring at least once in every match in between barring one. Blackburn does currently have the Championships top scorer in Sammie Szmodics who has notched fourteen times thus far. Since a 3-1 win over Norwich, Blackburn have scored fourteen times in eight matches and have conceded fifteen times in that time.
Correct score prediction: 2-2 Draw
We can not separate the two sides, especially with Blackburn having a home advantage. Watford has been in really good form as of late and we can not see them receiving a defeat but we also can not see them managing the beat of Blackburn. This should be an entertaining game with plenty of goals for viewers to see.
