Watford vs Hull City Prediction and Betting Tips | September 27th 2025

Watford take on Hull City on matchday seven of the Championship on Saturday. Both sides are in the second half of the points table.

Paulo Pezzolano's Watford are coming off a 1-0 loss at Millwall last weekend. Despite dominating possession (62%), having more shots on target (4-2) and passes (566-353) and registering a better passing accuracy (84%-74%), the Hornets succumbed to Camiel Neghli's 10th-minute strike.

Following a second straight defeat, Pezzolano's side find themselves perilously close to the drop zone, in 21st place, with five points from six games, winning one.

Meanwhile, Sergej Jakirovic's Hull are fresh off a 3-1 home win over Southampton a week ago. The Tigers led through strikes from Kyle Joseph, John Lundstram and Oli McBurnie before Adam Armstrong bagged a consolation for the Saints in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

Riding a two-game unbeaten run, winning one, Jakirovic's side are up to 14th in the points table, with eight points from six games, winning two.

Both sides have struggled this campaign, especially Watford, who find themselves closer to the relegation zone than their upcoming visitors.

In terms of head-to-head, the Tigers hold a head-to-head advantage, but the Hornets have dominated the rivalry recently, winning four of nine meetings and losing two.

While Hull hadn't lost in five away visits to Watford since a 1-0 reverse in April, the Tigers are in marginally better form and could eke out their first road win of the season.
