Watford vs Hull City Prediction

Deep in the Championship, a clash of two worlds, it is. Watford, 21st in the table, seek to rise. Hull City, 12th but winless away, they remain. Five days rest for the Hornets, seven for the Tigers.

Watford's home, a fortress no more: only one win in ten games, but draws in two of their last five at Vicarage Road. Against Southampton (2-2) and Sheffield Wednesday (1-1), they shared the spoils. Clean sheets, they have none. Conceded in every game, they have.

Hull City, on the road, victories elude them. Five away games without a win, but draws in three: at Swansea (2-2), Coventry (0-0), and Portsmouth (1-1). Defensively frail, they are: only one clean sheet in ten.

Head-to-head, at Vicarage Road, Watford unbeaten in four meetings. Two wins and two draws, they have. The last encounter: a 1-0 Watford victory in April. But before that, a 0-0 draw.

Key Points:

• Watford: Winless in four (L, L, D, L) and without a clean sheet in ten

• Hull City: Winless in five away (D, D, L, L, D) but scoring in four of these

• Head-to-head: Two of the last four at Vicarage Road ended level

• Goal expectancies: Watford 1.40, Hull 1.20 - a tight affair, it suggests

In the end, a draw, the force points to. Value in the draw at 3.40, there is.

Recommended bet: Draw @ 3.40
