Watford 1-0 Hull City

Current streaks

Recent form

Watford

Watford's recent form has been underwhelming, with the Hornets languishing in 10th place in the Championship. The team have struggled to find consistency, managing just one win in their last six matches, accompanied by two draws and three losses. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly concerning, netting only three times in this period for a meagre average of 0.5 goals per game. Despite their offensive woes, Watford's defence has shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets in their last six outings. However, the team's overall goal difference of -2 during this stretch highlights their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. With 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Watford's games have tended to be low-scoring affairs, potentially indicating a cautious approach or a lack of attacking flair.

Hull City

Hull City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, but are displaying signs of improvement. The Tigers have lost only once in their last six matches, securing three wins and two draws in the process. Defensively, Hull City have been solid, conceding just four goals in six games and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, with an average of 1.17 goals per game, but they've managed to find the net in five out of six matches. Notably, 83% of their recent games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring contests. Despite their current 19th position in the Championship, Hull City's recent form indicates they are fighting hard to climb the table, with their latest away victory against Sheffield Wednesday potentially boosting their confidence for the remainder of the season.

Recent home/away form

Watford

Watford's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the Hornets struggling to find consistency at Vicarage Road. In their last six home matches, they have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating a mixed run of results. The team have kept three clean sheets during this period, showcasing some defensive resilience. However, their goal-scoring prowess has been a concern, with only four goals netted in six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. A particularly notable result was the heavy 4-0 defeat to Leeds United, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Watford's home performances have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches seeing under 2.5 goals. The team's inability to string together consecutive wins at home suggests they are finding it challenging to build momentum in front of their own supporters.

Hull City

Hull City have shown mixed form in their recent away matches, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six outings. The Tigers have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with all six games featuring under 2.5 goals and no match seeing more than two goals scored. Defensively, Hull have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding just five goals in these six away fixtures. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, managing only four goals during this period, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Despite their struggles, Hull have managed to secure points in four of their last six away matches, demonstrating a degree of resilience on the road. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 33% of these games, highlighting the generally tight nature of Hull's recent away encounters.
