Watford have claimed 21 of their 27 points at their Vicarage Road home
Sheff Wed have let in more goals than any other side in the division, conceding 36
Recommended bet: Watford and Over 2.5 Goals
Watford may be down in mid-table in the Championship, but they are in touch with the play-off places and their strong home form should mean that they can improve their position further.
Visitors Sheff Wed are 23 points adrift at the foot of the table, largely due to points deductions for off-field issues, but on the pitch they have gone 10 games without a win.

Team news
Watford boss Javi Gracia has several long-term injuries to contend with, but can now call upon influential playmaker Giorgi Chakvetadze following the Georgian's extended absence.
Caleb Wiley has suffered a recurrence of the adductor injury he picked up earlier in the season, while pacey winger Kwadwo Baah is hoping to return in January after recently sustaining a hamstring strain.
However, Rocco Vata's hamstring issue is far worse than that of his attacking team-mate and he is set to be sidelined for months.
Nathan Baxter continues to deputise between the sticks due to Egil Selvik's dislocated shoulder.
Wednesday's seemingly impossible bid for survival is hampered by a lengthy injury list.
Henrik Pedersen is without central defensive duo Di'Shon Bernard and Ernie Weaver, who will both be missing for the foreseeable future.
Brazilian full-back Guilherme Siqueira has been ruled out until at least the end of the season after undergoing surgery on his Achilles tendon.
However, defensive midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, Pierce Charles and Olaf Kobacki are all back in training as they continue to recover from their respective issues.
The stats
Watford have only conceded on 13 occasions at Vicarage Road this season, with two of these goals coming in August's narrow EFL Cup defeat to Norwich.
The Hornets have been beaten in just one of their last seven Championship outings – a 2-1 away loss to Birmingham at the beginning of December.
Wednesday were on course to register their 13th league loss of the season on Saturday afternoon, but were handed a reprieve thanks to a waterlogged pitch at Blackburn.
The South Yorkshiremen have earned four more points on the road than at Hillsborough this term.

Prediction
Having been slapped with a further six-point deduction last week, Wednesday are now even further adrift of safety.
The Owls will be buoyed by the fact that their only victory this term came away from home, although September's 2-0 triumph at Portsmouth certainly feels like a long time ago.
Meanwhile, Tuesday's hosts appear to have turned a corner under recently returned manager Gracia.
If the Spanish tactician can alter his side's shocking away form, then do not be surprised if Watford quickly move towards the play-off positions.
Regardless, we cannot see anything other than a comprehensive home victory in this one.
