Watford vs Stoke City Match Analysis & Prediction
08/05/2023 5:00 pm
On Monday, Watford will host Stoke City at Vicarage Road for the final Championship game of the year.
In a dead heat between former Premier League teams, both clubs will have to be content with a mid-table position this year.
Overall, Watford’s first season back after being dropped from the top division has been nasty.
The Hornets, who have had three permanent managers just this season, won’t be making an instant return to the Premier League.
Watford is currently in the bottom half of the table, eight points outside of the playoffs, despite Rob Edwards, Slaven Bilic, and Chris Wilder having all grabbed the reins. However, none of them has had a significant influence.
Despite this, the Hornets have recently succeeded against Stoke, who have won their last three encounters.
Since they have never ended lower than their present 16th place in the Championship, Stoke will seek to put a positive spin on a poor season.
Watford vs. Stoke City Head to head
Both sides have ten games against each other with hosts taking four wins while visitors with five wins and one draw.

As Jacob Brown and Ben Wilmot are both out, Stoke will be without a number of their regular starts for the trip to Vicarage Road.
Both the goalkeeper Matija Sarkic and the limited-usage Axel Tuanzebe, who is on loan from Manchester United, are unlikely to play.
