Wycombe Wanderers vs Watford prediction, preview, team news and more | Championship 2020-21

Winless Wycombe Wanderers host Watford at the Adams Park Stadium on Tuesday, still looking for their first point of the season.

The Blues, who returned to the Championship after a gap of three years, have lost each of their opening seven games so far, making it one of their worst starts to a league campaign.

Second from bottom in the table, courtesy of Sheffield Wednesday's point deduction which has them rooted in 24th, Gareth Ainsworth's side already appear to be locked in a relegation battle.

The Hornets, on the other hand, have got their Premier League qualification bid off to a fine start, winning four games and losing only once to sit third in the table.

Their last competitive fixture came way back in August 2012 when the Hornets ousted Wanderers from the League Cup after a narrow 1-0 win, though December 1997 was the last time they clashed in the league.

Both teams were in Division 2 back then and it ended in a 0-0 stalemate.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Watford Prediction

The Chairboys are in dire straits at the moment, and one of the main reasons for their struggles is a compelling lack of goals - they've scored only twice in seven games so far this season.

Coming on the back of seven consecutive defeats, Watford might be licking their lips right now, and its hard to foresee anything but a win for them.

Prediction: Wycombe Wanderers 0-2 Watford
