Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this match will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Watford and Bristol C have rarely treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.30.
