Watford's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Stoke City. Midfield player Imrân Louza got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, the max score being 10. Louza hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 42 total).

In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Norwich City with a 3-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Watford perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Watford has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
