Watford vs Leeds United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Hornets set to face the Peacocks in the English League Championship.

Watford are ready to host Leeds United on matchday 32 in the EFL Championship 2024-25 edition. The Hornets are in the 10th spot after 12 wins in 31 matches in the league so far. The Peacocks are at the top of the table with 19 wins in same number of games. Leeds United have only lost three games in the process so far.

Watford have no delivered some over-the-top performances which explains their position in the league table. They will be at their home after Sunderland held them for a draw in their last EFL Championship game. A win here can take the Hornets up by three spots in the table. This is going to be a tough contest for Watford.

Leeds United were sitting comfortably at the top of the table. But they are not comfortable anymore as Sheffield United are just a win away from taking that top spot. The Peacocks will desperately need a win here as they will be looking to retain the top spot in the league. They are talented and will be ready to take on the Hornets.

Bayo Youssouf is in decent form and will surely have a big chance to put his team in front by scoring a goal for his side. The Hornets have to rely on the forward from Ivory Coast to lead them from the front.

Joel Piroe (Leeds United)
