Watford v Ipswich

Watford vs Ipswich Preview

A resurgent Watford outfit will play host to high-flying Ipswich Town in what looks to be another top clash in these midweek fixtures in the Championship as Watford have lost just once in their last 10 matches and head into Tuesday night's encounter on the back of a solid 1-1 draw at home with Southampton, while Ipswich Town racked up a third league win on the trot with a 2-0 victory away from home at Middlesbrough.

The early stages of this Championship season did not start brightly for Watford as The Hornets accumulated just two wins from their opening 10 games in the English second tier which came by way of wins against QPR and Birmingham City but the hosts also suffered five defeats within this period as well.

Losses to Stoke City, Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Sunderland placed Watford in the lower half of the early Championship table but the hosts have since staged an impressive recovery under manager, Valerien Ismael.

An expected 2-0 defeat away at Leicester City has been Watford's only loss in their last 10 games overall and The Hornets have easily outweighed that disappointment by picking up five wins in this period with victories gained over Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea City, Rotherham United, Norwich City and Hull City respectively.

Ipswich Town carried on their merry way in the Championship on the weekend when they recorded an impressive and solid looking 2-0 win away from home at Middlesbrough which followed previous wins against the likes of Millwall and Coventry City, with these three victories helping the Tractor Boys keep the chasing third placed Leeds United at arms length with a healthy seven-point cushion.

The visitors have been dealt just two defeats throughout the whole of this season's Championship campaign but having successfully avoided being involved in a number of draws but instead racking up numerous wins, Kieran McKenna's side currently occupy one of the automatic promotion spots in the Championship table.

Indeed, Ipswich Town have registered no fewer than 15 wins within their total of 20 matches played to date this term and they have lost just once in their 10 outings on the road so far this season as well which places Ipswich in a commanding position to add to their points tally on Tuesday night.
