Watford – MIddlesbrough, Championship Prediction

| There were at least three goals in 9 of Watford’s last 10 games

| There were at least 3 goals in 6 of Boro’s last 7 games

❌ Watford’s life in the Championship will not be easy either

Watford have sold Doucouré to Everton and there is a good chance they will sell Ismaila Sarr, possibly to Liverpool, by the end of the window. In fact, any team that is relegated from the Premier League in the Championship has serious difficulties in keeping its stars for next season, as they want to compete at the highest level. That is why the campaign for hornets will not be easy. They still do not have a serious incoming transfer to the team.

⚽ For Boro, this is another year full of hopes

Middlesbrough recorded 2 wins in friendly matches, and also beat Shrewsbury 4-3 for the Carabao Cup just a week ago. This combined with three points in the last round of last season of the Championship, which took place about a month and a half ago, makes 4 consecutive wins for Boro. The transfer window for them is also not very active. Only a few free in and out free transfers were made. For Middlesbrough, the hope of returning to the Premier League has not been sealed with many arguments this season.

We expect goals for the start of the Championship

 Expert view: Both teams have been playing very offensively lately and although these are completely different matches in other tournaments or friendlies, as it turned out, we think we have everything we need to see a goal match in the first round of the new championship. It is important to clarify that Watford today will be without too many important players such as Hughes, Gray, Deeney, Deulofeu, Masina, Capoue, Pereyra, and Welbeck. This is almost a whole team. We expect hornets to have defensive problems for this reason. Prediction – Over 2.0 – Asian goal line at 1.70.
