We have a full round of Championship fixtures to watch this week in England and on the 14th of March we have a meeting between Watford and Birmingham City.
The game will be played at Vicarage Road and the hosts are currently 11th in the table on 51 points while the visitors are in 18th place on 42 points.
Watford come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss at Queens Park Rangers on the weekend in the Championship. The only goal of the match was scored in the 15th minute and Watford could not find a way through the defence in the remaining 75 minutes of the game.
That defeat means Watford have failed to win any of their 3 most recent fixtures, all of which have come in the Championship. There have been defeats against Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers away plus a draw at home with Preston North End.
The Hornets have recorded just a single win from their last 9 matches, all of which have been in the Championship. The victory came at home over West Bromwich Albion.
Home form shows Watford are unbeaten in 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions. They are undefeated in each of their last 5 home Championship games but have recorded only 2 wins from their last 7 league matches on home soil. Trends show Watford have failed to score a goal in their last 3 games.
Birmingham City travel to Vicarage Road having recorded a 2-0 home win over Rotherham United in the Championship on the weekend. It was a crucial win against a team who were above them going into the fixture and both goals were scored in the first half of the game.
The wins means Birmingham City are undefeated in their last 2 matches following the 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic the previous weekend in the Championship.
Trends show Birmingham City have won only 1 of their 6 most recent matches, all of which have come in the Championship. There have been 4 defeats in those 6 games, with the losses coming at home against Cardiff City and Luton Town plus away to Huddersfield Town and Norwich City.
Birmingham City have won only 1 of their last 7 away Championship fixtures and both teams have scored in each of their last 5 away games in the league.
Team news and Watford are without suspended midfielder Hamza Choudhury. The Hornets have a significant injury list including Tom Cleverley, Hassane Kamara, Francisco Sierralta, João Ferreira, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Edo Kayembe, Kortney Hause, and Dan Gosling.
Birmingham City also have a midfielder suspended with Juninho Bacuna missing out. Gary Gardner, Dion Sanderson, Troy Deeney, Josh Williams, Jobe Bellingham, Tate Campbell, Przemyslaw Placheta are all on the treatment table.
This is a difficult match to call and neither team are in good form. However, Watford have not been easy to beat in recent home games and could come on top, with both teams scoring.
