- West Bromwich Albion have won two of the last three meetings including the most recent one at home in the Championship 2025/2026.
- Watford have won just two of their last five Championship 2026/2027 matches, drawing two and losing one.
West Brom to continue head-to-head momentum at home
West Bromwich and Watford will face off in the Championship 2026-2027 at The Hawthorns, England on Saturday in what could be a midfield battle of attrition between two teams that have enjoyed mixed starts to the season.
The hosts have three wins and two defeats from their last five matches, and they enter this game off the back of a two-game losing streak after defeats to Newcastle and Middlesbrough last time out.
Watford, meanwhile, are in a similar vein with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five matches, and the Hornets will be coming into the game after a 1-1 draw with West Ham in their most recent Championship 2026/2027 outing.
Morrison’s men can outfox Dionisi’s men
With the home side's 24/25 price too short for our tastes, we'll take the away side at 14/5 to come out on top. They could edge a close fixture against a West Brom side as they press high and move the ball vertically.
However, the Baggies are unbeaten in one at home in the Championship 2026/2027 with one win, while they've only conceded one goal at the ground. The hosts have also won two of the last three games between the pair and they should set the pace.
Price and Nabizada could be key in tight game
West Bromwich boss James Morrison has built a compact, pragmatic side in the shape of a 4-4-2 that wins duels and counters quickly with the ball.
Jimmy-Jay Morgan has been the creator-in-chief for West Bromwich with two assists in three Championship 2026/2027 fixtures, while Isaac Price has been the finishing touch in their attack with two goals in the same number of matches.
Amin Nabizada has been Watford's key goal threat so far with two goals in his three Championship 2026/2027 appearances, so we'll back them to get on the scoresheet in this midfield chess match at The Hawthorns.
Upset could be on the cards
With the sides in similar form and sitting seventh and ninth in the Championship 2026/2027 with six and five points respectively, this should be a close game but our faith is with the Baggies to edge it with the draw priced at 47/20.
Alessio Dionisi's side have 1.00 goal per game scored and conceded away from home in the Championship 2026/2027, but with just one draw from one, the low-scoring selection is a smart play here with under 2.5 goals at 77/100 and both teams to score yes at 83/100.
