Watford 2-0 Luton Town

Current streaks

Recent form

Watford

Watford's recent form has been rather poor, with the team struggling to find consistency in the Championship. The Hornets have managed just one win in their last six matches, suffering four defeats and securing one draw. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 11 goals in this period, with a particularly heavy 4-0 home defeat to Leeds United standing out as a low point. On a more positive note, Watford did manage to break a concerning three-match losing streak with their most recent 1-0 away victory against Middlesbrough, which also marked their first clean sheet in six games. However, their goal-scoring output has been a cause for concern, netting only five times in these six matches, averaging less than a goal per game. Despite their current 10th position in the league, Watford's recent form suggests they need to address both their defensive vulnerabilities and attacking inconsistencies to climb up the table.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent form has been concerning, as they find themselves languishing at the bottom of the Championship table with just 28 points from 33 games. The Hatters are currently on a worrying 12-game winless streak, having failed to secure a victory in their last six matches, which include four losses and two draws. Their goal-scoring woes are evident, with only four goals netted in their previous six outings, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, Luton have struggled as well, conceding nine goals in the same period and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. The 3-2 defeat against Oxford United stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run, although it still resulted in a loss for Luton. With 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, the team's games have generally been low-scoring affairs, highlighting their difficulties at both ends of the pitch.

Recent home/away form

Watford

Watford's recent home form has been alarmingly poor, with the Hornets enduring a dismal run of five consecutive defeats at Vicarage Road. This worrying streak began after a narrow 2-1 victory over Portsmouth on Boxing Day. The team's defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five home matches, including a heavy 4-0 drubbing by Leeds United in their most recent outing. Watford have struggled to find the back of the net during this period, failing to score in two of their last three home games. The high-scoring nature of their matches is noteworthy, with 83% of their recent home fixtures seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, Watford's home form is a significant concern, and they will be desperate to reverse this trend to avoid slipping further down the Championship table.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Hatters currently on a five-game losing streak on the road. They have failed to secure a victory in their last six away matches, managing only one draw against Sheffield Wednesday. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded at least two goals in five of these six games, whilst failing to keep a single clean sheet. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, averaging less than a goal per game. The highest-scoring match in this run was their 3-2 defeat to Oxford United, which also represents their closest result despite the loss. Luton's struggles away from home have contributed significantly to their precarious league position, currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship table with just 28 points from 33 games.
