Watford 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Current streaks

Recent form

Watford

Watford are currently experiencing a dire run of form, having lost five of their last six matches in the Championship. The Hornets find themselves in a concerning 13th position with just 56 points from 45 games. Their recent performances have been particularly poor, with four consecutive defeats in their last four outings. Defensively, Watford have been struggling, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game over the past six matches, while their attacking output has been lacklustre, scoring just 0.83 goals per game during the same period. Despite the overall gloom, there is a slight silver lining in that 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that Watford are at least finding the net in most games, albeit not enough to secure positive results.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Owls struggling to find consistent positive results. They have managed only one win in their last six matches, a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough, which breaks a concerning run of three consecutive games without a win. The team's defensive record is a particular worry, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine fixtures. Wednesday have been involved in relatively low-scoring affairs, with four of their last six matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging less than a goal per game in this period, while they've been conceding at a higher rate of 1.33 goals per match. Despite these challenges, the Owls have shown resilience in avoiding heavy defeats, with their 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers demonstrating their ability to compete against strong opposition.

Recent home/away form

Watford

Watford's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Hornets alternating between wins and losses in their last four matches at Vicarage Road. Despite this, they have managed to secure three victories in their last six home games, including a notable 2-0 win against local rivals Luton Town. Defensively, Watford have been relatively solid, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home matches and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been modest, with the team scoring only six goals across these six games, averaging one goal per match. The majority of Watford's recent home fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. This trend suggests that Watford's home matches have generally been tight, closely-contested encounters.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Owls struggling to find consistency on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, mirroring their overall mid-table position in the Championship. The team have shown flashes of brilliance, securing impressive 3-0 victories against both Norwich and Plymouth Argyle, but have also suffered heavy defeats, notably a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Burnley. Wednesday's defence has been particularly leaky away from home, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, which has contributed to 67% of their away matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite this, the Owls have managed to find the back of the net regularly, scoring 1.5 goals per game on average, suggesting they're capable of causing problems for opposition defences even when not at their best.
