Watford form and stats

Watford, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in Championship, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-5-4 (11 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Watford are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Watford have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann. It's been 203 minutes since they last conceded in Championship.

The supporters enjoyed Watford's previous game versus Barnsley (placed 11th), a Championship 1-0 win played at home. Before that, Watford secured a home win against Huddersfield Town with the score 2-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Watford manager F. Muñoz Llompart as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Millwall.

Watford are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 11 away games. It's not easy to score on Watford as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Watford - Stoke City 3-2 earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Stoke victories, three draws and three Watford wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.
