Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Watford predictions point to a routine afternoon at Molineux, with seventh-placed Wolves hosting a Watford side who have won none of their five Championship away games. Kick-off at Molineux is 3pm on Saturday.
Wolves sit in the play-off places on 18 points and arrive in reasonable touch, while Watford’s issues on the road make this a daunting trip. Anthony Eadson has picked through the numbers to find the angles that stand out.
The gap in away form is stark, and that shapes how we approach the betting here.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the Molineux numbers and landed on two selections that lean on the gulf between these sides.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Wolverhampton Wanderers To Win To Nil | 7/5 (10bet) | Watford’s away form is the story here. They have lost four of five on the road, taking a single point and scoring just twice while shipping 10 goals. Wolves, meanwhile, have conceded only seven at home across five outings and have failed to score once all season. With the visitors blanking in four league games and offering so little in front of goal away from Vicarage Road, a home win with a clean sheet reads as the percentage play. Seventh in the table against 20th, with that road record, points to Wolves controlling this from the front. |
| Krepin Diatta To Be Carded | 16/5 (Ladbrokes) | With Watford likely to spend long spells chasing the ball, their wide men are the ones most exposed to late challenges and tactical fouls. Krepin Diatta has the energy and defensive workload to get involved, and referees tend to reach for cards when a struggling away side is stretched. Watford have been overrun in several road trips already this season, conceding 10 goals in five, and discipline often slips in those circumstances. At 16/5 for Diatta to see yellow, there is enough in the matchup and the game state to make this an appealing addition. |

How Wolverhampton Wanderers go into the game
Wolves sit seventh in the Championship on 18 points and head into this one in reasonable touch. Last time out they were held 1-1 at home by Portsmouth, a result that followed a 2-1 win at Burnley. Before that came a bump, a 3-1 home defeat to Bolton Wanderers and a 1-0 loss at Middlesbrough, though a 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion underlines how competitive they have been.
Molineux has been a steady base, with a home record of two wins, two draws and one defeat, and only seven goals conceded there. Crucially, Wolves have failed to score just once all season, so a goal at one end looks likely against a leaky visiting defence.
How Watford go into the game
Watford are 20th on 11 points and, while home form has kept them afloat, their travels have been miserable. Last time out they beat Charlton Athletic 2-0 at Vicarage Road, but that followed a chastening run: a 5-1 hammering at Cardiff City, a 4-0 home loss to Burnley, a 1-0 defeat at Bristol City and a 2-1 reverse at home to Stoke City.
The away numbers make grim reading: no wins in five on the road, just one point, two goals scored and 10 conceded. Watford have also failed to score four times this season, so another difficult afternoon in front of goal looks on the cards at Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Watford head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10/03/22 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 4-0 | Watford |
| 11/09/21 | Watford | 0-2 | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| 01/01/20 | Watford | 2-1 | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| 28/09/19 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 2-1 | Watford |
| 27/04/19 | Watford | 2-1 | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
These two last met in the Premier League before both dropped into the Championship, so recent history comes from the top flight. Wolves have the upper hand from those games, winning three of the last five, including a 4-0 rout and a 2-0 win at Vicarage Road, while Watford’s two successes both came by a 2-1 scoreline. The sides have not faced off in this division recently, but Wolves’ edge in those meetings fits the pattern suggested by current form.
