Watford host Bristol City at Vicarage Road this Friday, with both sides looking to push further up the Championship table. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bristol City arrive in slightly better form and with a higher league standing, Watford boast a historically favourable head-to-head record at home. Kick-off is set for 8:00 PM in what promises to be a tightly contested clash between two sides separated by just three points after 14 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story here is one of contrasting styles: Watford’s technical, possession-based approach faces off against Bristol City’s clinical edge in front of goal. Both teams have shown defensive frailties, but with attacking talents in good form, punters can expect a game with plenty of chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
