Watford form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

I. Sarr was the last player to score for the away team. Watford haven't scored a league goal in the last 198 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Liverpool with 0-5 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Liverpool was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Moussa Sissoko got a match rating of 7.13 in that game, top player of the team. Sissoko hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leeds United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Watford have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Everton victories, two draws and three Watford wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
