Blackburn Rovers start as favourites to claim a home win over Watford in the Championship this weekend.

The hosts have won the last three games between the sides at Ewood Park and are fancied to extend this record at 11/8 with Ladbrokes tomorrow.

Rovers have won five of the last six home clashes against the Hornets and can take advantage of a Watford team missing talisman Troy Deeney.

Watford might appear to be a tempting bet at 11/5 with William Hill but their away record in the last six months has been patchy and their results have arguably flattered the fourth-placed side this season.

There could be a shortage of goals on offer with only four, for and against them, in the Hornets' last three matches. Missing Deeney is an undoubted loss in attack and backing under 2.5 goals could be worthwhile at 11/10 with Paddy Power.
