In their last six matches, they have managed one win, three draws, and two losses. The Hornets have struggled to find consistency, as evidenced by their alternating results of loss, draw, loss, win, and two consecutive draws in their most recent fixtures. Notably, Watford has been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with their last two matches ending in 2-2 draws against West Brom and Leeds United, respectively. The team has scored seven goals and conceded eight in their previous six games, resulting in an average of 2.5 total goals per game, with both teams scoring in 67% of those matches.
Preston

Despite the inconsistency, they have managed to maintain a strong defensive record, keeping four clean sheets and conceding only three goals in those six matches, at an impressive average of 0.5 goals conceded per game. Preston's attacking prowess has been evident in their 3-0 victories against both Rotherham and Coventry, showcasing their ability to score goals in bunches.

Currently sitting 8th in the Championship table with 59 points from 39 games, Preston will be looking to string together a run of positive results to secure a playoff spot as the season approaches its climax.
