Wycombe Wanderers vs Watford prediction, preview, team news and more

Winless Wycombe Wanderers host Watford at the Adams Park Stadium on Tuesday, still looking for their first point of the season.

The Blues, who returned to the Championship after a gap of three years, have lost each of their opening seven games so far, making it one of their worst starts to a league campaign.

Second from bottom in the table, courtesy of Sheffield Wednesday's point deduction which has them rooted in 24th, Gareth Ainsworth's side already appear to be locked in a relegation battle.

The Hornets, on the other hand, have got their Premier League qualification bid off to a fine start, winning four games and losing only once to sit third in the table.

Their last competitive fixture came way back in August 2012 when the Hornets ousted Wanderers from the League Cup after a narrow 1-0 win, though December 1997 was the last time they clashed in the league.

Both teams were in Division 2 back then and it ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
