Watford overcame a lengthy absentee list to post a convincing 2-0 win at Wolves last Saturday and they look solid favourites to beat winless Huddersfield at Vicarage Road.

Huddersfield have played some good football but they lack quality in the final third and are the lowest scorers in the league with four goals from nine games.

The Terriers should hold their own in midfield but Watford's attacking prowess, headlined by four-goal winger Roberto Pereyra, could make the difference.

Recommendation
Watford
2pts 4-5 Betfred
