Hull gave them a bit of a doing at home in the league didn't they? 3-0 I think. Just reading the report and sounds like Hull dominated. The head-to-heads from the league campaign are always my main thought when it comes to the play-offs.
Really needs a fantastic effort from Watford with the added hope that Hull will bottle it. I don't think they will. There's enough experience in the squad. Possibility of a few goals though if Watford are really going for it. I reckon we might get a classic....... 3-2.... I'm rubbing my ball. And please don't quote this if it finishes 0-0.

Hull v Watford (agg 2-0)

CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF SEMI-FINAL SECOND LEG (AGG 2-0)
Venue: KC Stadium Date: Wednesday, 14 May Kick-off: 1945 BST
Coverage: Live scores and text commentary on BBC Sport website
Hull midfielder Dean Marney will have a late fitness test after a knee injury kept him out of the first leg.
The experienced Jay-Jay Okocha and Henrik Pedersen are also pushing to be involved at the KC Stadium.
Watford will have captain John Eustace available after his first-leg red card was overturned on appeal.
Striker Darius Henderson returns from suspension but Steve Kabba (ankle) is out and Danny Shittu (hamstring) is a big doubt so Jay DeMerit may return.
Hull boss Phil Brown:
"We've got to deal with a 2-0 half-time score and the opposition have had time to prepare and throw everything at us.
"You've got be mentally prepared to stand up to that, and if you're not you might as well not be here.
"The players are very focused, very competitive and very up for it." More Hull preview quotes
Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd:
"It is do-or-die for us. We have to make sure that after the game we have given our fans something to cheer about and we have given our all. "Since I've been here as a team we've gone from being the hunter to being the team that is the hunted. "It's a very different scenario. We've been in both positions and we're back in our favourite role as the hunter."
