The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 19th and 20th respectively.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

W L L W W

Newcastle United form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at St. James' Park. Last season these fans witnessed 8 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses from Newcastle United's 19 home games.

Happy days for Newcastle United in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Tottenham Hotspur that ended with a 1-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as Newcastle United lost 1-3 at Norwich City's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Newcastle United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newcastle United as a small favourite), we find nine games. Newcastle United has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 5.

Early season league goal statistics from Newcastle United's 1 home game: 0 goals, 1 conceded.

Watford form and stats

Watford have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 6 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats from 19 fixtures. With the Watford losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Watford are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus West Ham United with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Everton before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Watford in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Watford, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

Watford have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Newcastle United 3 wins, 1 draw and Watford 6 victories. As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 games had two or less.
