Watford vs Portsmouth: Boxing Day Clash in EFL Championship

As the English football season continues, the EFL Championship is set to see an intriguing matchup on Boxing Day between Watford and Portsmouth. Watford, currently sitting eighth in the league table with 34 points from 21 matches, is looking to bounce back from their recent 2-1 defeat to Burnley. Despite the loss, Watford remains one of the four teams in the English second-tier yet to lose at home this season, which boosts their confidence ahead of the match.

Portsmouth, on the other hand, has been gaining momentum after a significant 4-1 comeback win over Coventry City in their last outing. Callum Lang was the star of the show, scoring four goals to help Portsmouth overturn an early deficit. This victory has lifted Portsmouth to 20th in the table with 20 points from 20 matches, and they are now more confident about avoiding relegation.

The head-to-head statistics between the two teams show that Watford has won 18 of their 51 meetings, while Portsmouth has won 21. The last time these teams faced each other in a Championship match was in January 2012, with Portsmouth winning 2-0.

Given the current form, Watford is predicted to win the match 2-1. The Hornets' home record and recent performances suggest they have the upper hand. However, Portsmouth's recent win and the goal-scoring form of Callum Lang make them a formidable opponent, especially considering that five of their last six matches have produced more than 2.5 goals.
