Blackpool vs Watford Prediction

Blackpool form

A single point is all Blackpool have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 2-1 and 0-1 against Millwall and Norwich respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 0-0 against Sunderland. In their last six Championship matches at home, Blackpool have one win, while they've drawn one and lost four.

Watford Form

Watford added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 2-2 draw with Sunderland. A 0-4 win against Stoke followed, before a 1-2 defeat against Swansea in their most recent match. Watford managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Championship. On top of winning once they also drew four as well as losing one, while scoring five time and letting in seven.

Ambitions are high for Watford, and winning the title is still very much a possibility.

Does Watford have enough about them to take out Blackpool on Saturday? We are not as sure as odds suggest, but considering aspects like form, strength in squad and match history, we believe they'll come through in the end.
