Bristol City vs Watford prediction – Betting tips & odds
Hot Tip – Watford to win
- Watford will have their teeth right into this game after an incredible 4-1 loss to Bristol back in late December
- Despite that loss, the Hornets have gone on to avoid a defeat in the following four games, just as the Robins went on to lose two of their three following league games
We have also decided to back Watford because of the one win in the past five games for Bristol. The 1-0 loss at home to the struggling Millwall and a 2-0 defeat away to Preston North End has been coupled with a 0-0 draw away to the relegation-fighting Birmingham City.

For more football betting tips on this game, check out the both teams to score market alongside our Bristol City vs Watford betting tips.
Both teams got amongst the goals from the five efforts hitting the back of the net last time out, as Bristol stunned Watford 4-1 at Vicarage Road. Watford have since gone on to bag eight goals in the following four games, but this has also seen them fail to register a clean sheet, including letting in a goal in a narrow win over National League’s Chesterfield.
Bristol have also scored as many goals as they have let in with 30 going in at either end, and a midweek win over the Premier League's in-form West Ham United no doubt gives them confidence of getting another goal.
Bristol City vs Watford prediction – Other tips
Watford to win and both teams to score
- Watford are aiming to avenge their terrible 4-1 hammering at home to Bristol towards the end of December
- The Hornets are, however, within just one point of the playoff spots and can end the weekend in the top six, should other results go their way
Mileta Rajovic to score
- Mileta Rajovic is the top scorer for Watford with nine goals, and as he was rested last weekend, the striker will have a lot to prove this game

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Mileta Rajovic
Goals have dried up for Rajovic in the past few weeks, but he remains the top scorer for Watford with nine goals so far. He will have a lot to prove in this game, and this should push him closer to getting a goal.
