Recent form
Watford
Watford's recent form has been characterized by a series of draws, with five out of their last six matches ending in stalemates. The only exception was a 3-2 defeat against Southampton. Despite the lack of wins, Watford has managed to maintain a relatively solid defensive record, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring just six goals during this period, averaging one goal per game. Notably, their match against Southampton saw a high-scoring affair, with a total of five goals being scored. Watford's current position of 15th in the league table suggests that they have struggled to consistently secure victories throughout the season.
Sunderland
Sunderland's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins, draws, and losses in their last six games. They are currently sitting in 13th position in the Championship with 56 points from 44 games. Over the past six matches, Sunderland has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only four goals at a rate of 0.67 goals per game. However, their defense has been relatively solid, keeping four clean sheets during this period. One notable exception was the high-scoring 1-5 defeat against Blackburn on April 1st, which significantly impacted their goal difference. The majority of Sunderland's recent games have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of them seeing under 2.5 goals and only 17% of matches featuring both teams scoring.

Recent home/away form
Watford
Watford's recent home form has been underwhelming, with no wins in their last six matches at Vicarage Road. They have drawn their last three home games, including a high-scoring 2-2 draw against Leeds United on March 29th. Prior to this run of draws, Watford suffered back-to-back defeats against Coventry and Huddersfield, with both matches ending 2-1 to the away side. The Hornets have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only five goals in their last six home games, while conceding seven. Their overall home form suggests they are in a battle to avoid relegation, currently sitting 15th in the Championship table.
Sunderland
Sunderland's recent away form has been mixed, with the team showing signs of improvement in their last three matches. Despite sitting 13th in the league with 56 points from 44 games, they have managed to secure two wins and a draw in their most recent away fixtures. It's worth noting that Sunderland suffered a run of three consecutive away defeats before their current unbeaten streak. One standout result is the high-scoring 4-2 loss against Southampton, which is the only game in the last six away matches where both teams scored and the total goals exceeded 2.5. Interestingly, 67% of their last six away games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a tendency for low-scoring encounters on the road.
