Watford desperately need points on Tuesday, Dec 8 at 9:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Birmingham City come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Watford travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Birmingham City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Watford have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham City won 0–3.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Birmingham City a slight edge, but Watford are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
