Watford form and stats

Things could have gone better for Watford in their Championship away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Watford had fun at their own home (AESSEAL New York Stadium) last time out, beating Middlesbrough 2-1. Sarr and Bayo scored. Those three points felt nice as this side had gone three league fixtures without victory. Bayo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Middlesbrough last time out, making the manager Edwards feel like a tactical genius. The attacker Pedro got a match rating of 8.85 in that game. Pedro served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 9 of 12 times and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).

A 2-3 loss hosting Queens Park Rangers before that.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).

Head 2 Head

Watford have won every one of the 4 latest fixtures versus this opponent. Another win today?
