Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-1 to Derby on Saturday
Watford sit just six points outside the play-off places
Recommended bet: Luca Kjerrumgaard to score anytime
Sheffield Wednesday showed some fight against Derby County at the weekend, equalising through Jerry Yates in the first half, but it was not enough, however, as the Rams eventually sealed a 2-1 victory.
This means the Owls have lost their last 14 matches in all competitions heading into this clash and have, of course, already been relegated from the Championship.
Watford, on the other hand, remain firmly in contention for a play-off spot heading into the final couple of months of the season.
The Hornets have not played since the end of February, when the club secured a 2-1 victory over Bristol City.

Team news
The Owls will be without several first-team players ahead of this match. Di'Shon Bernard, Max Lowe, Murphy Cooper, Olaf Kobacki and George Brown are all suffering from injuries and will play no part against Derby.
Goalkeeper Pierce Charles made his first start since January 4th in the 2-1 defeat to Derby over the weekend and he looks set to continue in goal on Tuesday evening.
Rocco Vata, Othmane Maamma, Hector Kyprianou and Kwadwo Bah are the four definite absentees for Watford ahead of the game.
Saba Goglichidze had to come off during the win over Bristol City a couple of weeks ago and it remains to be seen whether he is fit or not.
The stats
Despite enduring a dismal season, the Owls managed to take points from Watford during the reverse fixture in December.
That 1-1 draw remains one of only nine games in which Wednesday have won points this season.
Watford have won three of the previous seven games between the clubs, with the other four matches ending in draws.
The Hornets last won at Hillsborough in November 2024, sealing an impressive 6-2 victory.
In the Championship this season the Owls have scored the fewest number of goals (22), while conceding the most (73).
Watford have scored 45 times this term, although they have conceded 41 goals across their 35 matches.
Top scorer Luca Kjerrumgaard has scored 10 league goals for the Hornets this season, including two in his previous three Championship matches.

Prediction
The Owls showed plenty of battling qualities in the defeat against Derby, yet, ultimately it counted for nothing.
Watford will therefore need to be wary on Tuesday evening, but if they wish to seal a play-off spot, a win at Hillsborough is imperative.
Manager Edward Still will be counting on Kjerrumgaard to continue his recent fine form and he could certainly spur the Hornets on to all three points.
Playing against a defence that has conceded 73 goals, Watford will be confident of scoring a few and securing the win in the process.
