Recent form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion are currently experiencing a concerning dip in form, having failed to secure a victory in their last five matches. The Baggies have endured a particularly difficult run in their most recent outings, suffering three consecutive defeats against Bristol City, Sunderland, and Norwich. Their goal-scoring prowess has been notably lacking, with the team managing to find the back of the net only four times in their last six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, West Brom have also struggled, conceding in five consecutive matches and keeping just one clean sheet during this period. The majority of their recent fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. This poor run of form has seen the Baggies slip down the Championship table, putting their promotion aspirations in jeopardy as they seek to rediscover their winning touch.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find a rhythm in their last six Championship matches. The Hornets have managed just two wins, one draw, and three losses during this period, scoring a meagre four goals whilst conceding five. Their defensive record shows some promise, with three clean sheets in six games, but their attacking output is a concern, averaging less than a goal per game. Notably, Watford have been involved in several low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Their most recent victory against Hull City broke a three-game winless streak, which included back-to-back losses against Bristol City and Oxford United. Despite the recent win, Watford's goal difference remains negative, and they've failed to score more than once in any of their last six outings, indicating a need for improvement in their offensive capabilities.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at The Hawthorns. The Baggies have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only six goals in these six games, averaging just one goal per match. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Notably, West Brom's matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's inability to string together a consistent run of victories or defeats at home is evident, with their results alternating between wins, draws, and losses. Despite this mixed form, West Brom have managed to maintain a positive goal difference, albeit by a narrow margin of one goal.

Watford

Watford's recent away form in the Championship has been rather poor, with the Hornets failing to secure a victory in their last three outings on the road. The team have been struggling to find the back of the net, scoring just five goals in their last six away matches, averaging a meagre 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, Watford have been somewhat more solid, managing two clean sheets in this period, although they've still conceded an average of 1.17 goals per game. Their last away win came against Middlesbrough in a tight 1-0 victory, but since then, they've suffered two consecutive losses, including a narrow 2-1 defeat to Bristol City in their most recent away fixture. Interestingly, half of Watford's away games during this period have seen both teams score, with an even split between matches featuring under and over 2.5 goals.
