Watford form and stats

Watford, who have the most points (38) at home in Championship, are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Vicarage Road. 12 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 16 games. Watford has recorded two wins in a row here at Vicarage Road, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The fans are hoping that Watford will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Championship game against AFC Bournemouth (placed 6th). Before that match, a win away at Blackburn Rovers.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Watford home games with this odds we find two games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in two wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Watford, as the Championship home game vs Nottingham Forest is only three days away.

Goals decide football matches and Watford are scoring many of them at home; 32 on target from 16 league matches. Watford are not conceding a lot of goals here at Vicarage Road in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 16 matches.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

There's been little loot from Wycombe Wanderers's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 15 away games in the Championship. Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most conceded goals (53) in Championship, only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws.

Wanderers's previous game was their home loss versus Norwich City (0-2). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Reading.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Wanderers played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

The schedule is very tough for Wanderers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Stoke City is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Wanderers manager G. Ainsworth has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Wycombe Wanderers - Watford 1-1. As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Watford victory, one draw and zero Wycombe Wanderers wins. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
