Player to watch: Josh Maja
Our Watford vs West Bromwich predictions anticipate a hard-earned Hornets win, but Maja will definitely force the home team’s players to work for the three points. Since the start of the season, he has been a true monster in the opposition’s penalty box.
Will Maja keep on scoring?
So far, Maja has 10 goals to his name. However, his chances of finding the Hornets’ net are definitely looking good, as we believe he will be among the starters for his manager on the 15th of December.
