FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Watford, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw

| Watford | Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 2 home matches. Not won in the 3 most recent games. |
| Barnsley | 4 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 7 outings ago. |
