Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 4.

The away form of Watford is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Hornets have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sheff. Wed. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 40 points from 38 matches. Watford are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 42 from their 36 matches played.
