Where the money is
How much money is actually on each selection, next to what the price says it should be. A gap is not a tip — it just means the crowd and the book disagree.
**Boro bring the heat to Vicarage Road** — Middlesbrough's hitting form hard (3W in 5), while Watford's wobbling after a pair of losses. 🔥
Watford are winless in their last three, though they did scrape past Lincoln at home. Boro just demolished Bolton 5-1 and look genuinely sharp going forward, even without injured duo A. Jones and R. Pukštas.
Key storylines:
- **Middlesbrough's attack vs. Watford's leaky defence** — T. Conway and A. Cozier-Duberry have been clinical; M. Pollock and K. K. Biakolo need to stay switched on.
- **Midfield battle** — E. Kayembe and H. Kyprianou have to slow down S. Berhalter and A. Morris, who've been driving Boro's momentum.
- **Home pressure** — Watford's 13 wins in the last 28 H2H show they've historically owned this fixture, but form says otherwise right now.
Expected lineups:
- **Watford**: F. Ravaglia, M. Pollock, K. K. Biakolo, S. Coulibaly, B. Mlačić, H. Kyprianou, E. Kayembe, I. Bravo
- **Middlesbrough**: R. Vítek, N. Borges, A. Malanda, A. Phillips, C. Brittain, A. Morris, S. Berhalter, T. Conway
Prediction:
**Middlesbrough 2–1 Watford.** Boro edge it on current form, but expect Watford to scrap hard at home. ⚽
