Preview
Watford head into this after a goalless draw against Southampton in their previous and final pre-season clash on Saturday.
They did not end the pre-season on a positive note and will require a special effort to get themselves up and running.
In their pre-season campaign, Watford drew 2 and lost 2 of their 4 matches leaving them under confident.
But with the start of a new season, the Hornets will be looking to start off well and make sure they use this opportunity to return to the Premier League.
On the other hand, Sheffield lost their previous pre-season clash last week against Barnsley 2-1.

Team News
Louza is the sole absentee due to a knee injury for the hosts. Davies, O’Connell, Bogle and Doyle are out for the visitors due to injuries.
Prediction: Watford 2-1 Sheffield
Despite Watford not being in the best of forms, they will be pumped to begin their new season at home. A strong start is expected and we see them nicking this one by the odd goal. Sheffield’s loss in the last pre-season will hurt but they still have been in good form.
