Rotherham hosts Watford in round 37 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 16th at Aesseal New York Stadium (Rotherham)
It is enough to look at the standings to understand how difficult it is for Rotherham now. The team takes 22nd place and is in the relegation zone. There are three points to the 21st saving place, while the club has as many as four matches in hand. In the last round, the Millers managed to gain an important away victory over direct competitor Sheffield Wednesday (1-2). Thanks to that success, Rotherham ended a streak of five defeats in a row. The situation is not pleasant, but everything is in the hands of the team, and there are good chances of salvation.

After leaving the Premier League, Watford did not lose heart and is trying to immediately return to the elite. The Hornets are in great shape – they have won seven of their last eight matches. The team climbed to second place in the standings. But it is overtaking the third Swansea only due to better goal difference, and the opponent still has a game in hand. The main task is to get into the Premier League directly, so Watford needs to take a place not lower than the second. If worst comes to worst, the Hornets can compete for a ticket in the playoffs, but it will be difficult there.
The statistics of head-to-head confrontations show an obvious advantage for Watford. In the first round, the Hornets gained a convincing 2-0 victory, scoring both goals by the 14th minute. The opponents are at different ends of the tournament table, but they will be extremely motivated in the upcoming match. Bookmakers justifiably give an advantage to the visitors because the home field factor is not so important now. And Watford definitely looks better in terms of the game. We'll risk betting on a clear victory of the Hornets. As an alternative, a bet on the exchange of goals scored looks interesting.
Prediction for the match: Watford to win
