National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tranmere Rovers or Watford that keep their silverware dream alive.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Ipswich Town in only four days. This game is also played here at Prenton Park.

Watford form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the final.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Watford so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for Watford, whose manager N. Pearson could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against AFC Bournemouth. Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Tranmere Rovers.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tottenham Hotspur in just four days.

The attacking power of Watford when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. In the opposite end, Watford have conceded 20 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Watford - Tranmere Rovers 3-3.
