Match Result Prediction: Watford to Win
Bristol City has registered only one victory in the last five league affairs and tasted two defeats. Watford is also winless in the previous four Championship adventures and lost two. However, the Golden Boys have lost only one game at home in 2023, winning three of the eight. Bristol City has also faced three defeats in the previous five games away from Ashton Gate Stadium. In the H2Hs of these teams at Vicarage Road Stadium, Watford has emerged victorious in three of the last four meetings. Hence, we back the Hornets to fancy their chances in front of the home crowd in this game.
Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
Watford has rattled the net eight times in the last five league affairs. Bristol City also featured a scoring consistency before this game but they have managed to hit the target only twice in the last five road fixtures. Moreover, the Robins have failed to score a single goal in the previous four meetings with the Hornets. Two of the last three H2Hs of these teams have ended with Under 2.5 Goals. Given Bristol’s poor scoring run, we expect the same outcome in this fixture.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Watford
Bristol City has failed to rattle the net in four of the last five games away from Ashton Gate Stadium. On the other hand, Watford has also arranged two clean sheets in the recent four games in front of the home crowd. Offensively, the Golden Boys scored twice or more in three of the previous five games at Vicarage Road Stadium. Moreover, Watford has also smashed 15 goals in the last five home encounters with the Robins. Therefore, we predict Watford scoring a double in this game to get a 2-0 lead.

Matt Godden scored the opener for the Sky Blues in the 58th minute and Ben Sheaf followed to equalise the score 14 minutes after. With a completely healthy squad, manager Chris Wilder will be desperate to rotate the team’s form in this game.

Aaron Ramsey scored the first goal in the 58th minute and Matt Crooks made another change in the scoreline after six minutes.
