Watford play host to Millwall at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 18 of the 45 previous games, with the Hornets winning just 14.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Watford at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Hornets will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
