Watford host Derby at the Vicarage Road (Watford ) in the 31st round of the Championship and the match kicks off at 7.45 pm (UK) on Friday, February 19. Read our reasons for Watford vs Derby prediction and betting tips.
Watford go into this match after a 6-0 demolition of Bristol and 1-0 away win at Preston in their last outing. A succession of hard-working displays from the Watford defence has seen them conceding only three times from their previous 7 fixtures in the second-division and netting 11 goals themselves in the process. They sit in 3rd, at least until Wednesday night, having lost only once in their last 8 league games (W5, D2). As for Derby, the Rams are 16th in the league and have won five of their last six league games. The Rams have impressed under the management of Wayne Rooney, with the likes of Colin Kazim-Richards and Kamil Jozwiak also doing well.
The Hornets are definitely looking to get back to top-flight immediately and a change of managers has definitely galvanized the squad after Vladimir Ivic was sacked in December, just four months into his reign. Since Xisco Munoz took charge, their record across all competitions is ‘W6, D2, L3’ under the Spaniard and after failing to score in their last three matches, something had to give against Bristol and Preston.
That 6-0 victory over Bristol and a hard-fought win at Preston have lifted the mood at Vicarage Road, giving fans hope that their side can still challenge for the top two. Under Xisco the Hornets have now collected 20 points from his 10 league matches in charge, and maintaining that ratio may be enough to edge out the likes of Norwich, Brentford and Swansea come the end of the campaign. And while Watford can currently claim to be on the up, their next opponents are flying at the moment, as well.
The Rams have moved clear of the relegation zone and despite the threat of relegation now not causing immediate concern, Rooney will stress to his players that they must remain focused in their bid to occupy a mid-table spot before the closing weeks of the season. The Rams have responded with back-to-back 2-1 wins over Middlesbrough and Wycombe Wanderers, the latter being achieved through a last-gasp strike from defender Andre Wisdom.
His injury-time strike - his first ever league goal on his 183rd appearance - earned rejuvenated Derby a fifth win in six games and dramatic victory over fellow Championship strugglers Wycombe. Wycombe striker Uche Ikpeazu had earlier scored at both ends as the division's basement side came from behind and looked set to earn a point, but Wayne Rooney's side's stood firm and snatched a vital victory that takes them above fierce rivals Nottingham Forest and into 16th place, six points clear of the relegation zone.
