Brentford host Watford at the Brentford Community Stadium (London) in the 45th round of the Championship and the match kicks off at 3 pm (UK) on Saturday, May 1. Read our reasons for Brentford vs Watford prediction and betting tips.
Brentford have been undone by a raft of draws across a ten-game unbeaten run (W4, D6), consigning them to the playoffs for a second straight season. Bryan Mbeumo's 26th-minute strike proved to be the difference on Tuesday night as the Bees edged out a 1-0 win against a relegation-threatened Rotherham. The Bees are now unbeaten in their last 10 league games and look set for a third-placed finish. On the other hand, Watford defended well last weekend following an early Ismaila Sarr penalty as a 1-0 win against Millwall sealed promotion to the Premier League. The Hornets have won nine of their last eleven league games and still have their eyes on the title.
Brentford's win last time out took them to 81 points and gave them breathing space in third place in the Championship table. A place in the play-offs is, however, as good as it will get for the Bees. Brentford are chasing a top-three finish, the second season in a row they have done so in the second tier, and if they end the campaign with at least three points they will secure a play-off tie with a home leg second.
With a place in the play-offs already secured, the west Londoners are now preparing for the knockout games, where they could face either Swansea, Bournemouth, or Barnsley. Brentford beat the Swans in the semi-finals last season but went down to Fulham in the final at Wembley. The Bees have lost one in their last 13 games, which was away to Norwich, and will be looking to extend that run in the build-up for the play-offs.
In the meantime, Watford has qualified for the Premier League next season and is five points behind the toppers on the table as it stands. The away team has lost one of their last five matches and is on a two-game winning streak in their schedule. They will visit on the back of a 1-0 win at home against the likes of Millwall in the last league clash. With their current form, their morale will be high after their entry into the top-flight for the next season. Thus, expect the away team to come in with all guns blazing in this clash.
Losing a meagre three of their last 20 league games and duly promoted, just one team has scored in Watford's last four outings, the last two of which also saw them claim 1-0 victories. As such, the Hornets have scored first in a league-leading 31 Championship games, and haven’t lost any of their 20 league matches when they’ve led at half-time (W17, D3). Yet Watford have lost five of their last 15 competitive awaydays. As ten of those ended by one-goal margins, however, it would be wise to note that only five such matches produced over 2.5 goals.
