The Tuesday night EFL Championship clash will be difficult to analyse since there is not much to separate the two sides.
Blackburn Rovers will be eager to put their recent disappointments behind them when they take on Watford in the EFL Championship. The Tuesday night clash will be difficult to analyse since there is not much to separate the two sides. They both are separated by just a point and a place in the standings, while inconsistency has been their biggest problem. To Blackburn’s credit, they did start the season in an explosive fashion before losing their way. However, Watford have struggled for consistency since the beginning of the campaign.

Watford had a poor last campaign, which saw them get relegated from the Premier League to the Championship. They were a few of the favourites expected to quickly return to the top flight. However, the Hornets have struggled to maintain any kind of consistency. Watford have 13 points from eight games but have only managed to win three of those to occupy the sixth spot. Meanwhile, Blackburn are sitting a place lower at the seventh spot with 12 points on board from the same number of matches. They have lost a total of four league games and all of those defeats have come in their last five fixtures.
