Sheffield United's recent home form has been mixed, with a notable improvement in their most recent matches.

However, they've shown signs of recovery in their last two home games, securing a win and a draw.

Watford

Watford's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.83 goals per game, but their defensive record is equally leaky, conceding the same average.
