Watford form and stats

There's been little loot from Watford's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Premier League. Watford only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Watford, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Wolverhampton Wanderers (placed 8th). The attacker Dennis got a match rating of 7.15 in that game. Dennis dribled past the opponent 6 of 8 times.

Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Arsenal.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Watford as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Watford have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
