Watford face the first of two potentially tricky away fixtures in the space of three days, when they travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night.Having won each of their last three matches in the EFL Championship, Watford are in excellent form. They are only outside the automatic promotion spots because of goal difference. Swansea, however, have just a point less than both Watford and Brentford, and have two games in hand.The Hornets are sitting rather pretty within the top six, and barring a spectacular collapse in the last 15 games of the season, should make the playoffs at least.In their last game, Watford held on by the skin of their teeth to beat Derby County 2-1 at Vicarage Road.3⃣ points!3⃣ in a row!Sit back and enjoy highlights from a successful night's work at The Vic...#WATDER pic.twitter.com/GlFB3k07sf— Watford Football Club 💙 (@WatfordFC) February 20, 2021Joao Pedro and Will Hughes scored in the first half to put Xisco Munoz's side on their way. Derby were excellent in the second half, but just could not force the equalizer. However, they did halve the deficit through William Troost-Ekong's own goal.For Blackburn, the inconsistency that they have shown throughout the season continues to plague them. Rovers currently find themselves 10 points adrift of a playoff spot, after losing their last four league games.In their last match, Blackburn were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.Blackburn Rovers vs Watford form guideBlackburn have won 13 and lost 12 of the 37 games that they have played against Watford so far.In the reverse fixture earlier this season, the Hornets were comfortable 3-1 winners at Vicarage Road.Blackburn Rovers form guide: L-L-L-L-WWatford form guide: W-W-W-D-LBlackburn Rovers vs Watford Team NewsBlackburn RoversBlackburn will have to do without Bradley Johnson, Daniel Ayala and Scott Wharton for this game.
