The match between Watford and Wrexham at Vicarage Road is of utmost importance for the Championship battle. Wrexham, who have been the pleasant surprise of the season, are fighting for a place in the play-offs to enter the Premier League, while Watford are trying to maintain their mathematical chances of a top 6 finish. Watford are currently in 10th place, collected 52 points. The Hornets under Ed Steele have shown more stable games, but they still lack consistency. They come after a 1-1 draw against Coventry. For them, this match could be considered as a last train and a win would bring them closer to the play-off zone, but any other outcome would likely end their hopes. Wrexham are 6th, collected 60 points. Phil Parkinson’s team is in a great position. After winning the Welsh derby against Swansea 2-1 last weekend, they are full of confidence. Wrexham have won 3 of their last 5 games and look set for a historic ranking. For the hosts, Jeremy Ngakia, Rocco Watta and Pierre Dumo are out. Young prospect Nestori Irankunda is expected to start as a starter after a series of strong appearances from the bench. The big blow for the visitors is the injury to their leading scorer Kiefer Moore who is out until April. Ben Sheaff is also permanently injured.
