Watford vs Wrexham prediction

Watford's swift return to the Premier League hasn't quite materialized. For the past four years, the team has mostly been treading water at the same level. While there's little reason to complain about their budget—it's quite respectable by Championship standards—their results have been far from stellar.

Stephen Still has taken the reins as their coach, but this season has been something of a managerial merry-go-round at Watford. There's also been a noticeable trend of hiring former players as coaches. Under the new manager, the team has only played six matches so far, but there's nothing to boast about. After a decent start, Watford has once again been dropping points, unable to beat Sheffield Wednesday, who sit at the very bottom of the league. In their latest match, they lost to Stoke City, who are hanging around the mid-table this season. At home, in their last five games, they've only managed to pick up four points, which isn't very encouraging either.

In this season, Wrexham appears ready to pull off some serious upsets. Currently sitting in the sixth spot, their position acts like a red rag to nearly any Championship team. And in their recent encounters, Wrexham has certainly lived up to the challenge.

This is their first season at this level, so their success is all the more impressive, especially considering their budget is even smaller than Watford's. A lot of their success boils down to Phil Parkinson, who is soon celebrating his five-year anniversary with the team. Wrexham plays solid football and can adapt to any opponent. They've been phenomenal on the road, with just four away losses—quite an achievement by Championship standards. Plus, people still talk about their recent FA Cup match against Chelsea, which made it clear that Wrexham is a formidable opponent.
