Selection: Watford to win at 3.80 with Sportingbet. Kick-off is Friday 18 September at 21:00 SAST.

This is an underdog value play rather than a claim that Watford are the most likely winner. Several current models place the away win around 28% to 30%: PredictVantage 28.2%, OddAlerts 29.5% and FullTimeStats 30%. The 3.80 price implies 26.3%, leaving a modest positive margin.

Bristol City remain the match favourite and the away outcome is high variance. That is why the confidence and stake cap are low, and why this selection should not be used in the accumulator.
