Current streaks

Recent form

Millwall

Millwall's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games resulting in two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 5 goals in these matches, averaging 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded 6 goals, maintaining just one clean sheet. Interestingly, their games have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs (under 2.5 goals) and more open encounters (over 2.5 goals). The Lions are currently sitting in 13th position in the league table, suggesting a mid-table performance overall. It's worth noting that Millwall is currently on a two-game losing streak in their most recent friendly matches, which they'll be keen to turn around in their upcoming fixtures.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mixed bag of results: two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly in their friendlies against Hibernian (3-2 win) and Wycombe (3-2 loss), contributing to an impressive average of 3.17 total goals per game. Despite scoring a respectable 1.5 goals per game, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.67 goals per game on average. This defensive vulnerability is further highlighted by the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of their recent matches. Interestingly, there's a perfect balance between low-scoring and high-scoring games, with exactly half of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals and the other half over 2.5 goals. With only one clean sheet in their last six games and a goal difference of -1, Watford will likely need to shore up their defense to improve upon their current 15th position in the league table.

Recent home/away form

Millwall

Millwall's recent home form presents an interesting mix of performances. The team had a strong run of three consecutive wins in the Championship, including impressive victories against Plymouth Argyle, Cardiff City, and Leicester. However, their form dipped in subsequent friendlies, with two losses and a draw. The 3-1 win against Cardiff City stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, Millwall has been solid at home, keeping three clean sheets in six matches and conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. The team's goal-scoring has been modest, with 0.83 goals per game, and a notable 83% of their home games have seen under 2.5 total goals. This suggests a tendency towards low-scoring affairs at The Den, with both teams scoring in only 17% of the matches.

Watford

Watford's recent away form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches resulting in two wins, one draw, and three losses. The team has been involved in several high-scoring games, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the fixtures. Defensively, Watford has struggled, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet in their last six away matches. Their most recent away game, a friendly against Wycombe, was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 3-2 defeat. Despite their offensive output of 1.5 goals per game, Watford's goal difference remains negative at -3, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
