Swansea 1-0 Watford

Current streaks

Recent form

Swansea

Swansea's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their latest victory against Oxford United breaking a five-game winless streak. The Swans have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only two goals in their last six matches, both of which came in their most recent win. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding just four goals and keeping two clean sheets during this period. The team's matches have been predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Swansea's position of 12th in the Championship table reflects their mixed performances, and their negative goal difference (-2) suggests they have some work to do to improve their attacking output while maintaining their defensive stability.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches showing a perfect alternation between wins and losses. The Hornets have displayed a potent attack, scoring an impressive 10 goals in their last six outings, including a remarkable 6-2 victory against Sheffield Wednesday in their most recent match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in the same period. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. Despite their inconsistent results, Watford have managed to secure a respectable 5th position in the Championship table, accumulating 22 points from 13 games. Their ability to bounce back from defeats with wins demonstrates resilience, but they'll need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to maintain their promotion push.

Recent home/away form

Swansea

Swansea's recent home form has been rather underwhelming, with the Welsh side struggling to find consistency at the Liberty Stadium. In their last six home matches, the Swans have managed just one victory, coming against Norwich in a tight 1-0 win. The team have drawn three times and lost twice, including a disappointing League Cup exit to lower-league Wycombe. Notably, Swansea have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with all six matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just four goals in these games and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking prowess has been a major concern, with the team scoring a mere three goals across the six matches, averaging a paltry 0.5 goals per game. This goal-shy performance has contributed to their mid-table position in the Championship, sitting 12th with 16 points from 13 games.

Watford

Watford's recent away form has been concerning, with a notable run of five consecutive defeats before their most recent outing. However, their latest away match saw a remarkable turnaround, as they thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 6-2 in a high-scoring Championship encounter. This victory stands out as an anomaly in their recent away performances, where they had previously conceded 14 goals in five matches whilst only scoring three. The Hornets have struggled defensively on their travels, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six away games. Their matches have been particularly goal-laden, with all six games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of these fixtures. Despite their poor run, Watford still find themselves in 5th position in the league, suggesting their home form has been significantly better than their performances on the road.
