Millwall form and stats

Millwall's struggle is real here at The Den with only 10 points collected from 11 Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-7-3. Millwall are slowly digging their own grave here at The Den with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Luton Town match.

The Millwall fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at The Den: A 0-3 defeat against Bristol City (placed 9th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Huddersfield Town and winning 1-0.

There will be little rest for Millwall after this match as they are travelling to Cardiff City for a Championship game in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Millwall here at The Den in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 11 games). Millwall's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Watford form and stats

Playing away, Watford have won 3 games, drawn 5 and suffered 4 defeats in the Championship this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Watford, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Stoke City (placed 8th) in the Championship last time out. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Barnsley.

The attacking power of Watford when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Millwall-Watford H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Millwall two wins, Watford six wins, two draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
