Watford vs Birmingham City Match Preview
Watford and Birmingham City meet at Vicarage Road on Saturday in a match pitting two teams with contrasting fortunes so far this season.
The Hornets are unbeaten in their first four games of the campaign, winning three and drawing one, and sit top of the Championship table. Birmingham, on the other hand, have lost two of their first four matches and are currently 15th in the table.
Watford’s home form is particularly impressive, having won their last five games at Vicarage Road in all competitions. They will look to continue that run against a Birmingham team who have only won once away from home in their last 10 Championship games.
Watford will be without the suspended Emmanuel Dennis for the match, but they have a strong squad at their disposal and should be able to cope with his absence. Birmingham will be without the injured Ethan Laird, Siriki Dembele and Tyler Roberts, but have some talented players in their squad, including Scott Hogan and Troy Deeney.

Watford vs. Birmingham City Prediction
Prediction: Watford 2-1 Birmingham City
Reasoning:
Watford are the favorites to win this match as they are unbeaten in their first four Championship matches and have a solid home record. Birmingham have lost two of their first four games and are without some key players including Ethan Laird, Siriki Dembele and Tyler Roberts.
I expect Watford to start brightly and take control of the match. They have some talented players in their attacking lineup, including Joao Pedro, Emmanuel Dennis and Ken Sema. Birmingham will try to defend deep and hit Watford on the counterattack, but I think the Hornets will have too much quality for them.
I predict a 2-1 victory for Watford, with goals from Pedro and Sema scoring the goals
