Blackburn Rovers vs Watford

Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, experiencing a notable turnaround with a current three-match winning streak after a brief dip in form. The team's resilience is evident as they bounced back from consecutive losses against Portsmouth and Middlesbrough to secure three vital victories, including two clean sheets against Sunderland and Luton Town. Their most recent match against Millwall was particularly high-scoring, with Rovers netting four goals in a convincing 4-1 win. Despite conceding in 67% of their last six matches, Blackburn have maintained a positive goal difference and have been involved in relatively low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals. This recent upturn in form has helped Rovers climb to 9th position in the Championship table, keeping them in contention for a potential play-off spot as the season approaches its climax.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team currently enduring a worrying run of three consecutive defeats in the Championship. The Hornets have managed to secure only one victory in their last six matches, alongside one draw and four losses, indicating a significant dip in performance. Their goal-scoring record has been notably poor, netting just four times in these six games, averaging a meagre 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, Watford have also struggled, conceding seven goals during this period. Despite their current 12th position in the league table, the team's recent form suggests they are in danger of slipping further down the standings. On a slightly positive note, Watford have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six matches, but this has been overshadowed by their inability to consistently find the back of the net.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches at Ewood Park yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Rovers have shown a decent attacking threat, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per match. Their most recent home fixture was a particularly high-scoring affair, with Blackburn thrashing Millwall 4-1, which stands out as their most impressive result in this run. The team have managed only one clean sheet in their last six home games, suggesting some defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, indicating that Blackburn's home games have been entertaining for neutral spectators. The even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals further emphasises the unpredictable nature of Rovers' recent home performances.

Watford

Watford's recent away form has been abysmal, with the Hornets currently enduring a four-match losing streak on the road in the Championship. Their last six away fixtures have yielded just one win and one draw, with four defeats. The team's goal-scoring has been particularly poor, managing only three goals in these six matches, an average of just 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding six goals and keeping two clean sheets. However, their inability to find the back of the net has cost them dearly, with two-thirds of their away matches featuring under 2.5 goals. This poor run of form has contributed to Watford's mid-table position, sitting 12th in the league with 56 points from 44 games, suggesting a disappointing season for a team that might have harboured promotion ambitions.
