JefeBet Prediction
Considering their recent results, we believe that it will be the home team who will take the victory in this Watford vs Rotherham United.
Their good record so far and the latent possibility of reaching the top two positions is motivation enough for Watford to sign at home a result that is surely part of their manager’s accounts. However, the hosts should not be complacent as Rotherham come in inspired after last matchday’s goal fest.
Prediction: Watford win 2-0.
