History of the Wimbledon v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to Wimbledon at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Hornets have won 2 of the 8 games compared to the host's 3 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
