Derby County - Watford predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 18/01/2025 played @ Pride Park Stadium refereed by Adam Herczeg

Watford will give Derby County a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.38 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating The Rams on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

Derby County lost their previous Championship game against Bristol City , but they did so as clear underdogs. They played as visitors against considerably stronger opposition, who secured an early lead which lead into a narrow 1:0 loss for Derby County.

Watford recorded a draw in the away game they previously plated at Cardiff City. In fact, neither side was able to decisively pull ahead throughout the bout, but the away team are likely happier because they were the clear underdogs according to most bookies online.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Derby will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Watford's defensive line is much to be desired.

Although the 2.38 betting odds for a home win show that The Rams are the favourites, their track record against Watford this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.00 odds offered at Betway.
