Watford - Birmingham City betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Watford as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

Considering what they’re up against, Birmingham City can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 7.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The Hornets are coming off a glowing 1:4 victory against Rotherham United in the previous round. They dominated the game for the majority of the runtime and ended their visit with a convincing result and three points added to the tally.

The Blues must be feeling confident after the performance they gave the fans at Vicarage Road Stadium during the second half of the last round’s match. Despite the very difficult matchup against Reading and mediocre first half, they nabbed a narrow 2:1 home win in the end.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from The Hornets and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Championship season, the hosts already recorded a victory over The Blues. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

At the odds of 1.55 at William Hill, we couldn’t recommend anything but a Home Win. The hosts are clear favourites in this matchup, and we’re very confident they’ll come out on top.
