Birmingham vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips (1 December)

Birmingham made a nice leap forward in the rankings by being 9th in the early morning thanks in particular to their three victories gleaned during the previous five days. The particularity of these victories is that each time, Birmingham scored 4 goals and each time at home. Against Portsmouth initially 4-0, Millwall secondly 4-0 and against Norwich 4-1. Last week, as part of the previous day, Birmingham scratched the point of a draw on the lawn of West Bromwich 1-1. Since its defeat at the end of October against the boss of the championship: Coventry 3-1, Watford has not lost in the championship, thus recording five matches without a setback for a record of two victories and three draws.

Last week, in the previous matchday, the Hornets could not do better than sharing points at home against Preston 1-1. It was already with this “1-1” score that Watford had closed their matches against Bristol City and Ipswich. Note the two successes against Derby 2-3 and in style at home against Middlesbrough 3-0. 

For this home match, the usual starting right back Tomoki Iwata will serve his suspension for accumulation of yellow cards. Already absent in the league, Lee Buchanan (no appearance this season), the important Ethan Laird (4 goals, 4 assists last season), long-term injured midfielder Willum Thor Willumsson and striker Scott Wright (no appearance this season) will also not be available today. On the other hand, author of a double against Norwich, Jay Stanfield (8 goals, 2 assists in the championship) will be operational like the Jamaican international Demarai Gray (3 goals, 3 assists) and the man in form Marvin Ducksch (3 goals) author of his 3 goals during the previous 2 days. Note the great campaign of South Korean international Seung-Ho Paik (3 goals).

 Opposite, the Watford Hornets should go to Birmingham without attackers Baah (substitute) and Grieves (long-injured), without the usually starting goalkeeper Egil Selvik (Norwegian international) and the starting defender Caleb Wiley. Last week, by scoring his second league goal against Preston, Malian international Mamadou Doumbia (19) allowed his team not to lose the match. Note the presence of former Nantes player Imran Louza (6 goals, 4 assists) and former Toulouse player Kévin Keben.
