Watford vs Stoke is a Championship clash at Vicarage Road on Saturday, with the hosts marginally fancied.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Watford, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Watford to win and over 2.5 goals | 5/2 | Watford have shown they can score on home soil, beating Preston 2-1 at Vicarage Road and drawing 1-1 with West Ham, so they carry a real threat in front of their own fans. Stoke arrive as an attacking but open outfit, smashing Charlton 4-0 and Norwich but also shipping four in a defeat at Wolves. That combination points to an entertaining, goal-filled afternoon. Back the Hornets to make home advantage count against a Stoke side that both scores and concedes freely, with the total sailing past 2.5 in a contest that has goals written all over it. |
| Luca Kjerrumgaard and George Hirst to score anytime | 37/4 | Kjerrumgaard leads the line for Watford and has an eye for goal, notching 11 in 55 appearances with 37 shots on target, making him a natural anytime pick on his home patch. He is the focal point of the hosts’ attack. Hirst is the ideal partner in this double, a proven Championship marksman who plundered 34 goals for Ipswich and 13 for Portsmouth before his Stoke switch. His movement and finishing make him a threat against any defence. With both sides expected to create chances at Vicarage Road, backing this pair of strikers to find the net stacks up nicely. |
