Here's what we know about the Burnley - Watford match:

Both sides have had plenty of rest since their previous match. Let's have faith in that this will be an in-your-face fixture!

Burnley form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Burnley are certainly not brimming with confidence. Burnley have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Burnley shared the glory with Arsenal in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The goalie Pope was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.31 out of ten. Pope topped it up with a clean sheet.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Burnley have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Burnley, as the Premier League home game vs Manchester United is only three days away.

The Burnley fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Burnley have conceded 8 goals. Burnley has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Watford form and stats

Watford have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-1-6 (9 played).

Watford's previous game was their home loss versus Norwich City (0-3). King, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.6. King hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).

Before that, Watford travelled to Newcastle United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Watford in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Watford, one draw and three defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Watford manager Hodgson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against West Ham United.
