Watford W form and stats

There's been little loot from Watford W's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 10 away games in the Wsl 2 Women. Watford W only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. It's all red in the travel logs of Watford W, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Watford W's last game was the home draw against Durham W (3-3). Drawing 3-3 against Durham W after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager Kavaja needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sunderland W wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Watford have conceded 21 goals in these games. Watford W has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
