Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match is a Sunderland victory. Besides the home team having the support of their fans, they are facing an opponent that is currently below them in terms of quality of play. It is also worth noting that Watford has lost their last three matches in this competition. Given these factors, betting on the home team for this match seems like a good option.

Preview
Sunderland and Watford meet at Stadium of Light, in a match for the 31th round of the Championship. Watford got a home win by (2‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 28‑09‑2024. Oddly enough, the head‑to‑head record favours Watford: in the last 5 matches they won 2, tied 2 and lost 1. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 4th and 12th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 2nd best team in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Plymouth Argyle, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against Middlesbrough, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since they have won 23 points in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded, against 32 points won at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 10 conceded.
In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 14 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (5 out of 14 matches).

Sunderland comes into this match boosted by a 2-3 victory over Middlesbrough, extending their unbeaten streak to six consecutive games in the competition.

In the last 10 away league matches Watford has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible.
