The Professional Development League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Watford U23 and Coventry U23 promises to be an interesting one.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Professional Development League. That game was an away game at Nottingham U23, so at least Watford are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Watford U23 form and stats
Watford U23 are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Professional Development League games here at Clarence Park. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Watford U23, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Stress levels are on the rise for Watford U23's attacking players as they have now played 195 minutes without scoring in a league game. K. Coteh was their last goal scorer.
Preceding that match was the home game against Bristol City U23 that was lost 0-4.
As you see from the result above, Watford U23 suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Watford U23 at home in the league. 0 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
