Watford vs Rotherham Match Preview

Watford is ranked in 3rd place with 43 points and comes in a good run after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. They seem on the right path toward securing a spot in the playoff zone as it seems the first two spots are already decided.

With 33 goals they have shown a good offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of five goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in three encounters. At home, they are one of the teams with the best performance winning seven out of 13 games.

Their best offensive players have been Joao Pedro with 8 goals - 2 assists followed by Sarr with 7 goals - 5 assists. I would expect one of them on the score sheet in this one.

Rotherham, on the other side, is ranked in 19th place with 30 points and comes in poor form after a single win a draw, and three losses over the last five matches. They were experiencing a dark period but the hopes are that they will leave it behind after the big win 4-0 against a team like Blackburn. Currently, they sit four points above the relegation zone but they need to keep earning points in order to not go lower in the ranks.

With 32 goals scored they have one of the best offensive sides from the bottom half teams and in the last five games scored a total of six goals averaging at least a goal per game.

For them, in the attack, Ogbene has been leading with 6 goals - 2 assists, followed right after by Washington with 5 goals and Wood with 4 goals - 2 assists.

In conclusion, I think this game can have over 2.5 goals. Watford at home will aim for a win and nothing else. I expect them to score a couple of goals in front of their fans. Rotherham plays good offensive football and I guess they can contribute with a goal too, even though the result might not be in their favor.
