On Wednesday evening, Watford will host Swansea City, desperately needing a win to maintain any chances of making it to the Championship play-off. The visitors are trailing their opponents by just 2 points, sitting in the 15th spot on the standings table.
A run of six defeats in seven games might be causing the Pozzo family to consider terminating Valerien Ismael's substantitive contract. Watford has recently only been defeating teams in relegation zone. The latest defeats have significantly impacted the club's morale, making tomorrow's match crucial.
Luke Williams has started to win over fans, despite an initially challenging start. That being said, Swansea is only four points above the relegation zone and things can quickly shift.
Recent games have showcased Swansea City in better form than Watford. Added to that, the nervous atmosphere in the dressing room might have its negative impact. In this situation, I'd prefer to consider a handicap of 0 for Swansea City.
It's hard to label these two teams as highly prolific, especially considering the crucial nature of the match. If a team scores, they'll immediately transition to defense, which provides an excellent reason to go for the total under 2.5 goals.
