West Bromwich Albion vs Watford Prediction
West Bromwich Albion are one of the strongest teams in the Championship, and will be aiming to return to the Premier League next season. The additions of John Swift and Jed Wallace, two of the Championship's better performers in recent years, could prove to be crucial.
Watford, on the other hand, will aim to preserve their name as a yo-yo club by ensuring a quick return to the Premier League. The likes of Rey Manaj, Mario Gaspar and Vakoun Issouf Bayo have joined the squad. An interesting side-note will be witnessing how long Rob Edwards lasts as Watford manager.
A draw seems to be the most likely result.
Prediction: West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Watford
