The draw left the Millers in the relegation zone. They currently occupy the 22nd spot, having earned 11 points from 15 games. Watford are 16th with 18 points to their name.

Watford vs Rotherham Prediction

Watford are currently on a five-game unbeaten run with the nine points garnered in this period helping their rise up the Championship standings. Valerien Ismael's side are the favorites here and will be expected to win against an out-of-sorts Rotherham United.

The visitors are in the relegation zone and have struggled in attack, particularly on their travels. Further compounding matters is their poor record against Watford, although they can take solace in the fact that they drew both games against their next opponents last season.

We are backing the home side to claim a routine victory in addition to a clean sheet.
