THE PREDICTION

After a 0-2 defeat at home to rivals Cardiff last weekend, Bristol City were knocked out of the FA Cup in midweek by Sheffield Utd. Here they face Watford at Vicarage Road with the Hornets looking to end a run of three Championship games without a win. Watford have been afforded a week’s rest heading into this match, whilst the Robins were in cup action midweek and this could give the hosts the edge from a physical perspective. With the Hornets having won three of their last four home matches, they’ll be confident of success here with the likes of strikers Troy Deeney and Andre Gray within their ranks along with winger Ismaila Sarr. Bristol City are suffering through a torrid run away from home at present, losing their last six league games on the road and it would be a surprise if six didn’t become seven in this match.
