Watford vs Swansea

Current streaks

Recent form

Watford

Watford's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Hornets struggling to maintain a consistent run of results in the Championship. They have alternated between wins, draws, and losses in their last six matches, securing two victories, two draws, and two defeats. Their defensive record has been mixed, keeping three clean sheets but also conceding four goals in a heavy defeat to Leeds United, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Watford's goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in this period. Their current 11th position in the league table with 49 points from 36 games suggests they are struggling to mount a serious promotion challenge. The team's goal difference of -2 over the last six matches indicates they have been slightly outperformed by their opponents during this period.

Swansea

Swansea City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a current two-match unbeaten run following a brief dip in results. The Swans have demonstrated resilience in defence, keeping an impressive four clean sheets in their last six matches, including a notable 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers. Their attacking output has been somewhat inconsistent, with six goals scored across these games, but they've managed to secure three wins in this period. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, Swansea have shown they can be a tough nut to crack, particularly at home where they've won their last two fixtures without conceding.

Recent home/away form

Watford

Watford's recent home form has been particularly poor, with the Hornets suffering a concerning run of four consecutive defeats at Vicarage Road before a brief respite against local rivals Luton Town. The team have struggled defensively, conceding 11 goals in their last six home matches, including a heavy 4-0 loss to Leeds United. Watford's attacking prowess has also been lacklustre, managing to score just five goals during this period, with two of those coming in their sole victory against Luton. The team have kept only one clean sheet in these six games, highlighting their defensive frailties. With 67% of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Watford's games have been relatively high-scoring affairs, though unfortunately for the Hornets, often not in their favour. This poor run of form at home has undoubtedly contributed to their mid-table position in the Championship.

Swansea

Swansea's recent away form has been decidedly poor, with the Welsh side struggling to find consistency on their travels. The Swans have endured a challenging run, losing four of their last six away matches, including a three-game losing streak. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding a whopping 14 goals in these six games, with an alarming average of 2.33 goals conceded per match. The 5-1 drubbing at Norwich stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, highlighting Swansea's vulnerability at the back. On a more positive note, they did manage to keep two clean sheets during this period, including a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Bristol City and a goalless draw at Preston. However, their attacking prowess has been lacking, with the team scoring just three goals in six away games, averaging a meagre 0.5 goals per match. This poor run of form has undoubtedly contributed to Swansea's current 15th position in the Championship table.
