Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Rotherham United. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Rotherham United managed 3 attempts on goal, with 0 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Cardiff recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Watford, Recent FormWatford head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 away win against Wigan Athletic in their last league encounter. During that encounter they recorded 53% of the possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Slaven Bilić will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Keinan Davis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Watford's last 6 league games.
Watford recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
In the past 11 away matches at Cardiff in the league, The Hornets have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. We've seen plenty of goals from Watford when they've visited The Bluebirds in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 per game.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Cardiff City Stadium, Watford has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Cardiff in 3 games.
