Watford are expected to get their promotion challenge back on track with three points against Blackburn Rovers tomorrow.
The Hornets were harshly treated at Bournemouth last week after a first-minute red card scuppered their hopes but the bookies fancy them to win at Vicarage Road with 19/20 (Ladbrokes) the best price on offer.
The last two meetings between the sides have resulted in score draws, with September’s game ending 2-2 and the last one at Vicarage Road finishing 3-3.
Blackburn have plenty of firepower in attack with Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede netting 23 goals between them this season.
Keeping them out could be tricky so, rather than taking odds on for a home win, backing a Watford victory with both teams to score is a tempting bet at 27/10 with Coral.
Blackburn have not won away in the league since October so odds of 3/1 with Coral are easily ignored.
Odion Ighalo has scored eight goals in five games for the Hornets and six of these came in the last two home matches. The Nigerian striker looks worth backing to continue this run and is 5/4 (Coral) to net anytime tomorrow.
