Recent form
Birmingham City
Birmingham City finds themselves in a difficult situation, currently sitting in 21st place in the Championship with 39 points from 36 games. Their recent form has been poor, with four losses in their last six matches, including a current run of three consecutive defeats. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding goals in all of their previous six games at an average of 1.83 per match. A particularly high-scoring encounter occurred on March 2nd, when Birmingham lost 4-3 at home to Southampton. Despite their defensive woes, Birmingham has managed to score in five of their last six games, averaging 1.17 goals per match, which suggests that their attacking play has been relatively consistent.
Watford
Watford's recent form has been poor, with the team currently sitting in 14th position in the Championship. In their last six matches, they have suffered four defeats, drawn once, and won only one game. The Hornets have struggled to find consistency, as evidenced by their alternating results. A particularly concerning aspect of their recent performances is the high number of goals conceded, with Watford letting in 10 goals in their last six games, an average of 1.67 per match. This defensive fragility was most apparent in their 4-2 defeat against Norwich. On a positive note, Watford's matches have been entertaining for neutral fans, with 50% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals, and 70% of the matches seeing both teams score.
