Recent respective form guides

Watford's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Hornets have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Wolves's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.

Watford are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 49 points from 29 games. Wolves's 43 points from 29 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
