Watford face Derby County at Vicarage Road Stadium, Watford on Saturday, Mar 13 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Championship, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Watford come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Derby County, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Watford here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Derby County, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Watford won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

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