Watford to win @ 23/20

Watford missed the chance to go top of the Championship as they were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest. Boss Vladimir Ivic voiced his frustration in the post-match interview, telling reporters “it’s another draw in an away game, it was difficult to find the space to attack and create chances.” They face Cardiff next, who secured back-to-back league wins for the first time this campaign as they defeated Huddersfield 3-0. The Hornets have been tough to break down at Vicarage Road, winning 5 of the last 6 games on their own turf. Meanwhile, Cardiff haven’t won in their last four away games, tasting defeat in half of these matches. Watford also have a superior head-to-head record, beating Cardiff in each of the last three clashes between these sides. We fancy Watford to extend their home form here – they’re priced at 23/20 on Coral to record the victory.

9 or more match corners @ 8/11

Our second tip for this clash is for there to be 9 or more match corner kicks. The Hornets have won the third most corners in the division, taking an average of 5.93 corners per game. Although they haven’t conceded too many, with an average of 3.93 per game, their opposition average 9.94 corners per match. Cardiff take 5.14 and concede 4.8 corners a game, which makes us believe there could be a host of corners in this clash. 9 or more match corners is available at 8/11 on 10Bet.

Over 0.5 first half match goals @ 4/9

There has been a first-half goal in 67% and 73% of Watford and Cardiff’s opening 15 league matches respectively, which indicates another early goal could be on the cards here. The Hornets have found the back of the net on 8 occasions before the break, and conceded 4 first-half goals. Whereas their opposition have been involved in 16 first-half goals, with Cardiff scoring 7 and conceding 9. We fancy another early goal here – this is priced at 4/9 on RubyBet.
