A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: Vicarage Road
Friday 7th November 2025, 2000hrs (GMT)
Watford picked up an important away from home in midweek in the Championship when The Hornets held Ipswich Town to a 1-1 draw at Portman Road, making it four points collected from their last two league matches following a previous comprehensive 3-0 home win against promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough.
Recent results have seen Watford slowly but surely produce a revival under manager Javi Garcia who is in his second stint at Vicarage Road as the hosts have slipped to just two defeats in their last eight league matches.
Both of these losses were incurred on their travels at Sheffield United and Coventry City but having also picked up previous wins in the Championship against the likes of Hull City, Oxford United and West Brom respectively, The Hornets look in good shape to add to their points tally on Friday night.
Back-to-back defeats at the hands of Stoke City 5-1 and Blackburn Rovers 1-0 have resulted in Friday night’s visitors, Bristol City, to drop out of the play-off pack in the Championship table ahead of this tricky looking outing to Vicarage Road.
Bristol City had previously registered three league wins on the trot with victories gained over Norwich City, Southampton and Birmingham City but these have been The Robins’ only highlights within their last nine matches overall in the Championship.
The west country outfit have also drawn twice and suffered four defeats within these previous nine games in the domestic second tier but the visitors have lost just once in their last six outings on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Watford have lost just once in the last five meetings at home against Bristol City, picking up four wins along the way.
