Watford vs Leeds Prediction, Betting Tips & 7/1 Bet Builder

Watford vs Leeds preview and betting tips for Friday’s Championship showdown from Vicarage Road.

Heading into March’s international break in the midst of a stellar purple patch and skyrocketing their way to the top of the Championship table, Leeds will certainly be smelling the chance to make another promotion statement this weekend.

Struggling to find any kind of momentum this season and facing a minor miracle in their bid to snatch a play-off ticket this season, Watford should be bracing themselves for a heavyweight challenge when they return from the fortnight interval.

 

Watford vs Leeds Prediction

Although Leeds might have lost their Premier League status last season, Friday’s guests have only continued on a remarkable rise under Daneiel Farke. Riding what has been a stunning wave of momentum and with the mood around Elland Road at a red-hot high, the Yorkshire-based outfit have skyrocketed their way to the top of the Championship table. Now tipped as a leading promotion contender in 2024, the former Norwich boss will be calling on his squad to make another statement here. Heading into March’s international break with a routine 2-0 victory against Millwall, Leeds have remarkably collected 34 points from their previous 13 Championship appearances. Likewise, Farke’s men have won their last three second-tier showdowns by an aggregate score of 5-0.

Making the shock decision to appoint one-time Manchester United midfield Tom Cleverley as their new boss on an interim basis, Watford have continued to show a string of issues this season. Despite heading into March’s international break with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Birmingham, that is just the second win that Friday’s hosts have collected from their previous 13 appearances across all competitions. Almost sat in Championship limbo, Watford have also gained a reputation for their glaring struggles on home soil. Last seen at Vicarage Road getting hit with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Coventry, Clverley’s temporary squad have collected just a single point from their last five contests in front of their own supporters.
