ℹ️ Team News: Watford

Caleb Wiley (Adductor injury) and Rocco Vata (Hamstring injury) will not be taking part for Watford manager Javi Gracia.

It looks as if The Hornets could opt for a 4-4-2 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Nathan Baxter, Jeremy Ngakia, Mattie Pollock, Max Alleyne, Marc Bola, Tom Ince, Imran Louza, Edo Kayembe, Othmane Maamma, Luca Kjerrumgaard and Mamadou Doumbia.

ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen has to currently contend with reduced team options. Olaf Kobacki (Groin injury) and Guilherme Siqueira (Achilles tendon surgery) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the thinking that The Owls appear most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 system with a starting lineup of Pierce Charles, Dominic Iorfa, Liam Cooper, Liam Palmer, Sean Fusire, Yan Valery, Barry Bannan, Svante Ingelsson, Harry Amass, Jamal Lowe and Charlie McNeill.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Watford will probably score a couple of goals when they meet Sheffield Wednesday, who may well struggle scoring a goal of their own.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 2-0 winning score for Watford after 90 minutes.
