Watford & under 3.5 total goals

Watford have won 10 out of 17 at home in the Championship, with under 3.5 goals in all of those victories.

Millwall make the short trip to Vicarage Road this Saturday. Our Watford vs Millwall prediction and Championship betting tips consider whether either side can pick up maximum points.

Watford vs Millwall prediction: Hosts to win low-scoring game

Key stats

  • Our Watford vs Millwall betting tips take into account that the visitors have just a 24% win ratio on their travels this season in the league.
  • None of Watford’s last four matches have seen both teams score.
  • 82% of Millwall away games and 94% of Watford home games in the Championship have served up under 3.5 goals.

Correct score prediction: Watford 1-0 Millwall

These clubs have both been involved in some tight matches in recent weeks and with Watford’s last three games producing just three goals in total, we’re unlikely to see much action in this one.

Since losing heavily to leaders Leeds, the Hornets have responded well with three straight clean sheets, and they look the team much more likely to nick this.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Watford the slight favourites

  • HOME: 11/8 (2.38) – 42.1%
  • DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
  • AWAY: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

They come into the game after a drab goalless draw away to Stoke City last weekend.

Bayo striking after the interval

The 28-year-old has tended to do most of his damage in the second half of games. 70% of his league goals this term have come after the break, with three goals coming in the final 15 minutes.
