Venue: Vicarage Road (22200 seats)

The home crowds anticipate a victory in this fixture, as the home advantage could be decisive against a struggling visitor. Watford are in 11th place while the guesting Huddersfield Town worry at 22nd.

Insights:
  • Watford have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Huddersfield Town have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Watford form and stats

Watford have played 19 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-6-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The regulars are hoping that Watford will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Luton Town (placed 4th). Hoedt was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Hoedt won 8 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Wigan Athletic that ended 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Watford's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 2 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Low on goals? Looking at this team's last 21 league games, 17 have contained zero, one or two goals.

Watford are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Coventry City awaits in three days.

Watford are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 28 goals in 19 games. Watford have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

Huddersfield Town have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Championship, after 3-4-12 (19 played).

Huddersfield Town had fun at their own home (Vicarage Road) last time out, beating Middlesbrough 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against Middlesbrough was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Millwall at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Huddersfield when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 9 matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 3 and winning 2 games.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Blackburn Rovers in just three days.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 19 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Huddersfield Town struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 32 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Here's the end result when the participants met previously this season; Huddersfield Town - Watford 0-2. Head-to-head totals (for the former ten meetings): Watford won five games, zero matches ended with a tie and Huddersfield Town managed five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
