In the first round, they managed to secure a confident away victory over Preston (2:0), and then drew with QPR (2:2) and Norwich (1:1). The hosts recently flew out of the League Cup, losing to Barnsley (0:1).

1.67Tip and bets
The visitors have extended their winning streak to five matches and are not going to stop there. It will not be easy to beat Sheffield United away, after all, the team has not lost yet this season, but we think that the visitors will take at least one point.
Our prediction is Watford not to lose at 1.98
Bet on total
Sheffield United will try to play smart in defense to stop an opponent who has scored eight goals in three matches. It is unlikely that the hosts will allow Watford to run wild in attack, but the hosts themselves look mediocre in attack so far.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 2.00
Bet on corners
There will probably be a lot of positional fighting in this match. We can't count on fast attacks, so we can assume that we won't see many corners here.
Bet - total under 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 2.32
