Watford Preview – Hornets to book spot in next season’s Premier League?
Watford are just one win away from returning to the Premier League at the first time of asking. The Hertfordshire club have had a superb season in the Championship, kicking on under Xisco Munoz, who arrived at the club in December.
Watford have been in stunning form since February, winning 12 of 15. After a setback at Luton Town, the Hornets struck back with a 1-0 win at Norwich City last time out, with Dan Gosling scoring the only goal of the game at Carrow Road.
No side in this term’s Championship have picked up more home points than Watford. The Hertfordshire club have been devastating on their own patch, collecting 53 points from a possible 63. Just one more victory will take them up, and the Watford win on Saturday is priced at 8/15.
Millwall Preview – Can the Lions cause an upset?
Millwall have once again blown hot and cold this season. Despite a couple of decent runs, the Lions have been nowhere near the play-offs really, but Gary Rowett will want his side to finish in the top half of the table. At present, Millwall sit 11th on 59 points.
The Londoners kept their slim play-off hopes alive with three straight wins over Middlesbrough, Rotherham United and Stoke City recently, but just one point from their last three has put paid to any late top-six dreams. Still, it has been another solid season for Millwall.
