Watford have performed better than Huddersfield Town so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
- Watford has the most points (26) at home in Championship
- Huddersfield Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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, who have the most points (26) at home in Championship, have performed here at Vicarage Road this season with 8 wins from 11 Championship matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.
In their previous game, the manager F. Muñoz Llompart led his Watford to a defeat in the FA Cup match away at Manchester United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Vicarage Road. Heartbreak before that as Watford lost 1-2 at Swansea City's place.
Daniel Bachmann had a busy but productive day in the Manchester United match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Watford matches with similar probabilities have ended with five wins, two draws and zero defeats (from seven games).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Watford, as the Championship home game vs Barnsley is only three days away.
The Watford fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 11 league matches. From these home matches, Watford have conceded only 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
There's been little loot from Huddersfield Town's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Championship. Huddersfield Town only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.
Huddersfield Town failed to get anything from their last game, a FA Cup home match vs Plymouth Argyle that ended with defeat 2-3. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Reading.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Huddersfield playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.
A quick return to home after this game, as Huddersfield are hosting Millwall in the Championship only four days away.
Huddersfield Town have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. 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's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Huddersfield Town - Watford 2-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Watford won five games, zero matches ended with a draw and Huddersfield Town has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / twoTop Goalscorers
