Watford Cardiff City betting prediction
 Watford |
|  Cardiff |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match is a Watford victory. In addition to having the support of a large crowd, they are facing an opponent that is quite down, having lost six of their last nine matches. It is also worth noting that Watford has won nine of their eleven home games. Therefore, it is expected that the home team will demonstrate their favouritism and ultimately secure the three points.
