Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> face Watford<\/a> at Hillsborough this week in a Championship<\/a> clash that highlights two teams heading in sharply different directions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Wednesday rooted to the foot of the table and Watford chasing a late play-off push, the stakes could not be clearer. Kick-off is set for Tuesday at 19:45, with Wednesday desperate to turn around their fortunes against a Hornets side that has had their number in recent meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Watford\u2019s dominant attacking numbers and Wednesday\u2019s defensive frailties, our top betting recommendations lean heavily towards the visitors. We\u2019re particularly confident in Watford to win, given their scoring record and the gulf in recent form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
