Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that there's minimal chance that this match will deliver more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Swansea and Watford haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.
