IF ever a game suggested an away win it's this one – but we know Championship games don't always go the way we expect.

Take Derby v Birmingham on Saturday for example. It was my headline tip of the weekend and the Racing Post's as well as other tipsters.

I'm pretty sure the Racing Post will tomorrow predict a victory for Watford because everything suggests three points for Gianfranco Zola's side.

Watford are aiming to bounce back from last week's 3-2 defeat at home to Steve McClaren's Derby County and lie just outside the playoff places.

Brighton have won just one in eight and are seriously short of firepower with Leonardo Ulloa, Will Hoskins and Scotland striker Craig Mackail-Smith crocked. That has contributed to them netting just five goals in seven matches and last week they were held 0-0 at Yeovil.

The one boost has been the arrival of Swansea's Leroy Lita on loan and he is 6-1 (various) to net first and 2-1 (Betfred) to score at anytime.

Lita could make a difference but Watford won 3-1 at the AMEX and welcome back striker Troy Deeney, winger Ikechi Anya and midfielder Almen Abdi.

Deeney's a threat and if he starts will be worth a look for first scorer at 5-1 (various) while Anya's been a revelation for Scotland and will boost Watford's attacking options.

The last two meetings at the AMEX have produced four goals but the previous were 1-0 – two for either side – so under 2.5 goals has a chance at 10-11 with William Hill and Ladbrokes.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Dan, Jong Ajax going through a bad spell and again I want to see the team news. It’s vital for Jong Ajax, Jong PSV and Jong Twente because they can call on first-team players if they want.

  3. Dan 10 years ago

    What does anyone think of the getafe v athletic bilboa game

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Dan, Getafe are on my Super Single shortlist, going great guns just now against a Bilbao side struggling away. Would like to see team news in the morning before committing myself though.

    Kaiserlauten might complete my treble

    Banker of the day:
    Monday:
    Brighton v Watford
    BTTS

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Michael, if you put up a “Banker of the Day” at least give some reasoning.

  6. Blair R 10 years ago

    Banker of the day or free money always put me off.

    Good luck though.

  7. Michael 10 years ago

    My reasoning?
    Last 2 meetings at the Amex arena:
    2012/2013Brighton 1 Watford 32011/2012Brighton 2 Watford 2

    Brighton have scored in 100% of there home games this season and conceded in 83.3% (5 out of 6) while on the other hand Watford have scored in 66.66% of there away games (4 out of 6) and conceded in 83.3% of there away games ( 5 out of 6)
    Also it is no secret that both teams like to attack and are eyeing a place in the BPL next season.
    Cheers,all the best on bets for the coming week, Michael

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Michael, that’s great. That allows punters to consider the stats and make up their own mind. In my head Brighton are a really low scoring side so I’d worry about that but they have signed Leroy Lita on loan and he will fill in for some of their injured strikers.

  8. Michael 10 years ago
