Watford - Blackburn Rovers betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Watford as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Blackburn Rovers winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The Rovers are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.50 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

For the first 45 minutes, it looked as if The Hornets could return from a tough trip with at least a point in the bag. However, the situation changed after the break when The Hornets suffered a blow and ended up losing the game by a single goal margin.

Blackburn mildly embarrassed themselves on their home turf in the previous round. They suffered a 1:2 defeat at the hands of Hull City – a weaker team relatively speaking – and their confidence must have taken a hit.

The previous two Championship matches Watford participated in ended with minimal goals on the board for either team – 1 or none, to be exact. This displays a form of consistency which can be valuable for betting markets like Under 5 Goals.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for The Hornets. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 2.10 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.00 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
