Watford News and Form

Watford picked up a good away win at Crystal Palace last weekend in the Premier League. That leaves them on a three-match undefeated streak of form in the top flight (W1 D2). The Hornets have only suffered one defeat in their last seven league fixtures now so have been carrying a bit of form with them. Overall this season at Vicarage Road, Watford have posted a W5 D1 L5 record in the top flight.

Their chances in this one could be good as four of the five home defeats which they have suffered have all been against sites currently residing in the top six in the table. Watford have scored 16 goals this season conceding 18. 82% of their home games this season have ended up over 2.5 goals so there has been a big trend in Watford’s home games.

While they have not earned clean sheet in any of their last five home or away, Watford have scored in each of their last eight Premier League fixtures. Back on home soil, they have scored 69% of their home goals after the halftime break in matches. They have however, only opened the scoring in four of their 11 home games.

Burnley News and Form

Out of nowhere, Burnley have put some great form together having won each of their last three Premier League games. That is easily their best streak of form for the entire season. Overall on their travels this season in the Premier league Burnley are W2 D2 L7 which clearly isn’t great. However, Burnley did get an away win in their last away game as they earned a 2-1 success out at bottom side Huddersfield.

That win for Burnley over the Terriers snapped a six-match winless streak of form that Burnley were on in the Premier League away from Turf Moor. Burnley had lost five of those six games in that sequence. On their travels Burnley have only netted the nine away goals but at the back, they have conceded an average of exactly 2 goals per away game against them.

36% of their away games have gone over 3.5 goals and there doesn’t appear to be a good chance of goals turning up in this fixture. The Clarets have not earned a clean sheet in any of their last four top-flight away games. But they have scored in each of their last five Premier league fixtures home and away combined.

Burnley’s half-time record away from home is D7 L4 from their 11 games. Five of the seven half-time draws in that sequence have been 0-0 scores. Burnley have the second worst defensive record in the Premier League this season with only Fulham having conceded more. Only three teams have worse away record than the Clarets as well.
