Watford 2-1 West Brom

Current streaks

Recent form

Watford

Watford have shown a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting in 8th position in the Championship with 31 points from 19 games. The Hornets are displaying resilience, having gone five games unbeaten since their last defeat to Swansea. Their defensive prowess is evident, with three clean sheets in their last six matches and a miserly 0.67 goals conceded per game. However, Watford's attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring just 5 goals in 6 games at an average of 0.83 per match. The team's matches have been notably low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their most recent outing, a 1-1 draw with Hull City, typifies their current form: difficult to beat but struggling to secure victories, with four of their last six matches ending in either a draw or a one-goal margin result.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown a remarkable resilience in recent fixtures, currently enjoying an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak in the Championship. Their last six matches have been particularly noteworthy, with the Baggies securing two victories and four draws, demonstrating a solid if unspectacular run of form. Despite their mid-table position of 6th, West Brom have been difficult to beat, conceding only six goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. The team's attacking prowess has been consistent, scoring in five out of six matches, with a respectable average of 1.5 goals per game. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring affairs, the Baggies have been involved in several closely contested matches, with four of their last six games ending in draws. This run of form suggests West Brom are a tough side to overcome, but they may need to convert more of these draws into wins if they hope to climb higher in the table.

Recent home/away form

Watford

Watford have been in imperious form at home, with an impressive run of five consecutive victories before their most recent draw against Queens Park Rangers. The Hornets have been particularly miserly in defence, conceding just two goals in their last six home matches and keeping four clean sheets. Despite their strong defensive record, Watford's home games have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their attack has been consistent if not prolific, scoring in every game but never netting more than twice. This solid home form has helped propel Watford to 8th position in the Championship, with the team proving especially difficult to beat at Vicarage Road.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown remarkable resilience in their recent away fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches on the road. The Baggies have displayed a penchant for sharing the spoils, with five of these six games ending in draws. Their defensive prowess is evident, having conceded only four goals in this stretch, with two clean sheets to their name. However, their attacking output has been somewhat muted, scoring just five goals in these six away matches. The majority of their away games have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite the lack of victories, West Brom's ability to avoid defeat away from home has contributed to their solid league position, currently sitting 6th in the Championship table.
