Estimated range: Bristol City 32.8–59.2%, Draw 16.1–39.9%, Watford 14.4–37.6%

Bristol City leads mainly on recent attacking output (0.41 more expected goals including home advantage). The draw stays elevated at 28% because both totals sit in the low-scoring range where the Dixon-Coles correction adds weight.
