The Vicarage Park is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Watford go up against Sheffield Wednesday. Read on for expert tips and predictions.

The game ended goalless the last time both sides met last September. Watford, however, still possess the superior head-to-head record with two wins in the last four games.

Both sides in contrasting situations

Watford is currently in second place, eight points from the summit and six points ahead of Swansea having played a game less. At the moment, we certainly expect them to focus on holding on to second place as it guarantees automatic promotion. Prior to the international break, Sema, Chalobah and Gray were on target as they ran out big winners against Birmingham City.

Sheffield Wednesday currently find themselves in the relegation zone. With a whopping six points from safety, they would certainly need to start ramping up points if they’re to bridge the gap. In their most recent game, they recorded their first win since the beginning of February, beating Barnsley 2-1.
