Watford still have an outside chance of an automatic promotion place at the expense of Hull City but they need to win their last two matches and hope Hull fail to win theirs.

Leicester have only won once in 11 matches and are just a place and a point off their play-offs where just five points separate fourth and eighth in the table, realistically anything but a win here will probably end their chances.

Both these sides need to win tonight to keep their respective challenges alive but more is resting on the result for Leicester because Watford are guaranteed a play-off spot. It is hard to back Leicester at such a short price but another angle to approach the match from is to look at goals.

Leicester’s last four matches have seen both teams to score and their last three results have been 2-2, 3-2 and 2-2. Watford won 4-0 last week and recently went down 3-2 against Peterborough.

Over 2.5 goals is a best price 8/11 (Sky Bet) and over 3.5 is 15/8 with Sportingbet. An early goal in this match could light the blue touch paper as they both need the three points. Take a chance on backing over 3.5 goals.

Leicester’s Chris Wood has scored in each of his last two matches and he can find the net again tonight, he is 5/4 to score anytime at Betfred or 9/2 to score first.
