Birmingham City vs Watford Prediction and Betting Tips | December 1st 2025

Birmingham City will host Watford at the St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park on Monday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have impressed upon returning to the second tier this season, sitting ninth in the table, and could climb into the promotion playoff spots with a win on Monday.

The Blues marked their return to action after the international break with a dominant 4-1 home win over Norwich City, featuring braces for Marvin Ducksch and Jay Stansfield. They then picked up a point in their 1-1 draw away at West Bromwich Albion during the week, with Ducksch once again finding the net.

Watford are also playing well at the moment and are now pushing for the top half of the pile. They played out a 1-1 draw with Preston North End last time out, falling behind midway through the first-half before 19-year-old Mamadou Doumbia levelled the scores later in the half.

The visitors sit 14th in the Championship table but are just one point behind their midweek opponents and could take significant strides in the standings with a win on Monday.
