Derby v Watford Betting Tips and Predictions – Championship Tips

Derby v Watford betting preview and predictions for Good Friday’s second live Championship match with free football betting tips.

 

Another cracking potential promotion altering fixture is on the Good Friday schedule and most people will be tuning in to find out whether or not Derby have bottled it.

 

Derby v Watford Predictions:

 

The Rams were in prime position for promotion this season and Steve McLaren was lavished with praise for his tactics and young forward thinking team, but something has gone sour in recent weeks. The East Midlands side are still in a decent position to be promoted but may have to do it via the play offs once again.

 

Watford were on a terrific run of form, until their surprise loss to Ipswich last time out. Slavisa Jokanovic’s side may benefit from the rest, but they have a number of internationals who will be returning from far flung regions after playing a possible 180 minutes for their respective nations.

 

This poor form for Derby can’t continue and they must simply turn it around at some point as they have enough talent to do so. Chris Martin being injured has hampered them, but Darren Bent is back from injury now and they should be able to get at least something from this game.

 

Derby have only lost three away games all season, whilst Watford have only lost one of their last five on the road and it looks likely to end a stalemate here.

 

I can’t pick these sides apart and can see a point a piece for my Derby v Watford result prediction. Neither manager will be happy with that outcome, but it will be a platform to build upon with another game just around the corner. Watford have a difficult game at home to Middlesbrough on Monday whilst Derby have a slightly easier assignment at Wigan. If Steve McLaren can get four points from the two games across the Easter Weekend, he can be relatively satisfied.

Friday’s Derby v Watford prediction is for the match to ends a draw and the odds are 5/2 at Bet365.

 

It’s hard not to see both teams finding the net in this one. Derby may have drawn blanks in their last two fixtures, but they can get back to scoring ways here. The Watford has never been the most secure and they do have the firepower to unlock it.

 

The Hornet very rarely go two games without scoring a goal and after their shock 1-0 defeat last time out, they will be looking to put that right and with 78 goals to their name this season, they certainly are no slouches in front of goal.

Have a bet on both teams to score in Derby v Watford, the best odds for this football tip are 4/6 with Sky Bet.

 

Jesse Lingard is a bit of an enigma, he can go on a sensational scoring run as he did at Birmingham or he can be completely ineffective. The Manchester United man is still only 22 and is sometimes utilised on the wings, which negates his threat somewhat. He scored the first goal for England under 21s the other night and should be able to draw confidence from his display and their 3-2 victory.

 

With doubts over the return of Chris Martin for this game, it could play into the hands of Darren Bent and Lingard to score the vital goals in this game and he may come off the bench so back him anytime to score.

Our third and final Derby v Watford betting tip is for Jesse Lingard to score anytime at 14/5 with Ladbrokes.
