Tottenham News and Form

Spurs earned a dramatic late 2-1 win at Fulham in their last league game. Tottenham picked up the winner right at the death in the fixture. It is back to Wembley on Wednesday for them where they have posted a W6 L4 record this season from their Premier League games. Spurs will have a little bit of revenge in mind as well having lost against Watford earlier this season.

Spurs have lost back-to-back home games heading into this fixture. Those defeats were against Wolves and the Manchester United and they have been costly in terms of their title push. Before those back-to-back home defeats, Spurs had been on a four-match winning streak at home in the League. Tottenham have scored 18 goals at home this season while they have conceded 10.

50% of Tottenham’s home games have ended up over 2.5 goals. Tottenham are going to have to try and find a way today in there because of growing injury list which includes Harry Kane. Tottenham have picked up a clean sheet in 30% of their home fixtures. Of the goals they have conceded so far this season, 70% have been after the half-time break.

Spurs have been winning at half-time in six of their home games (D1 L3) and they have opened the scoring in seven of their 10 home fixtures. Only twice this season have Spurs failed to score in a Premier League home game. On both occasions that happened, they lost the game 1-0. Spurs have gone through the entire League season without having played out to a draw in a fixture.

Watford News and Form

Watford are on a four-match undefeated streak of form in the Premier League. Their most recent game saw them play out a 0-0 draw against Burnley. Watford have actually only picked up the one defeat in their last eight League games (W3 D4) so they have been pretty steady for a while now, if not spectacular.

However just to put things into context each of Watford’s last four games have been played against sides currently down in the bottom half of the table. Watford have come up with a W4 D4 L3 record this season on their top-flight travels. There are actually unbeaten in their last four away games winning two of those. Watford have lost just one of their last six League away games.

This would be a pretty big League double completed if they were to take down Spurs again. Watford have scored 16 goals on their travels this season conceding just 14. Only 36% of their away games have finished over 2.5 goals. Watford are on a trend of having scored at least two goals in each of their last four away fixtures.

Of the away goals which they have conceded this season, 64% of them have been in the first period of matches. In five of their 11 away games, this season Watford have opened the scoring. Three of four away wins that they have recorded this season have been by a one-goal margin.
