Sunderland vs Watford: Top Free Betting Tips

Watford travel to the Stadium of Light for their penultimate fixture of the 2022/23 Championship season. They have fond memories of their last trip here and would want to relive them to hinder Sunderland's playoff ambitions.

Match Result Prediction: Sunderland to Win

Watford's late playoff push suffered defeats to relegation-threatened Hull, Cardiff and Huddersfield. They now stand in Sunderland's way to the promotion lottery. The Black Cats are unbeaten in their last seven outings and have won three of their last four outings. Couple this with their home advantage and the Hornets' woeful away form, it is easy to back Sunderland to claim the three points on offer.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Watford have struggled to score goals on the road, scoring twice in just two of their last 11 outings. These are also the only two occasions that three or more goals were scored in these fixtures. There is not much to write about the Black Cats' scoring ability, which has picked up at this stage of the campaign. Based on Watford seeing four of their last five away trips concluding with Under 2.5 Goals, we expect a low-scoring conclusion to this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Sunderland

The Hornets have no poise going forward on the road, scoring just twice in their last five away trips. They have conceded 7 goals in this period, a tally Sunderland will surely look to increase. The Black Cats have scored with regularity at the Stadium of Light and we should see them hit add two more strikes to their takky. Given Watford's poor scoring record and Sunderland averaging just shy of two goals per match at home in the same period, we anticipated a 2-0 conclusion to his Championship encounter.

Sunderland vs Watford: Form, Recent Games, and News

Sunderland Preview

The Black Cats have made a strong push for playoff slots at the tail end of the Championship campaign. They are unbeaten in seven league outings and occupy the final playoff slot. This unbeaten run has seen Sunderland register four draws, a statistic that might come back to haunt them. However, with three wins in their last four outings, the Stadium of Light faithful will have confidence in their squad battling til the end.

Watford Preview

The Hornets were supposed to be fighting for playoff slots on their return to the Championship but it has not gone according to their plans. Heading into the final couple of fixtures of the campaign, they find themselves six points adrift of the final playoff slot. The mathematical reality is bleak for Watford given the fact that there are six teams between them and their ambitions.
