Watford have restored their energy after their 1-4-fixture against Leicester City and are eager to face Newcastle United. Here's all the knowledge!
- Newcastle United have the most dropped points from leading position (19) in Premier League
- Watford have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League
Newcastle United and Watford should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Newcastle United form and stats
Newcastle United's struggle is real here at St. James' Park with only 8 points collected from 10 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-4.
The Newcastle fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at St. James' Park: A 0-1 defeat against Cambridge United.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 versus Manchester United.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Newcastle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost zero.
The Newcastle United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Newcastle with 22 goals conceded in these matches. Newcastle United has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Watford form and stats
Watford have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-0-6 (8 played). When Watford is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 3 matches. Southampton, Norwich City, Leeds United, Everton, Watford and Burnley is teams we like to compare Newcastle United with. With the Watford losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Watford lost away at Leicester City (1-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The attacker Hernández got a match rating of 7.11 in that game. Hernández hit two key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).
A 0-1 loss hosting Tottenham Hotspur before that.We have checked recent matches where Watford have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, two draws and one defeat.
Watford have another game away in just three sleeps, a Premier League match versus Burnley. A rough schedule for the visiting team!
