West Brom have won three of their last five Championship away games
Watford have conceded the opening goal in each of their last seven matches
Recommended bet: West Brom draw no bet
Watford lost 1-0 away to struggling Sheffield United in their first game since Javi Gracia’s return to the dugout and they will be hoping for a better performance and result when taking on West Brom in a key game for both teams at Vicarage Road on Wednesday.
The Hornets were busy in the transfer market and have made no secret about their ambition to push for promotion.
But they have performed below expectations and could have no complaints at the weekend after being outfought by their Yorkshire hosts.
West Brom had a more positive weekend, winning 2-1 at home to Preston in a keenly contested encounter.
Ryan Mason’s side finished the weekend in fifth place, but they have lacked consistency and are aiming to secure back-to-back wins for only the second time this season.

Prediction
West Brom endured some tough times on their travels last term — winning on only four of 23 Championship road trips — but they have already registered three away victories in the 2025-26 campaign and are overpriced to defeat Watford at Vicarage Road.
The Baggies were beaten 3-0 at Millwall on their last road trip, but they have been competitive in every other game and look a more settled side than the Hornets, who are adjusting to another new man at the helm.
Gracia is back for his second spell in Hertfordshire and has an understanding of the club and its supporters.
But his team struggled in their weekend reverse at Bramall Lane and they may have to stomach a second loss in five days.
