Match preview: Watford vs Burnley

Watford and Burnley will clash at Vicarage Road in a match for the 43rd round of the Championship. Burnley secured a (2-1) victory the last time these two teams met in this edition of the league on 21 December 2024. The recent head-to-head record favours the visitors, with Burnley winning 2 of the last 5 encounters, drawing 2 and losing just 1. It’s essential to closely examine the home and away performance, as Watford shows contrasting results when playing at home versus away.

Team analysis: Watford

The home team is currently placed 10th in the league, accumulating 56 points from 16 wins, 8 draws, and 18 losses. In their second to last match, they triumphed over Hull City at home (1-0), but they succumbed to West Bromwich Albion (2-1) in their latest outing. Watford tends to be more robust at home, recording 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 matches as the home side, scoring 14 goals and conceding 15. However, their away form has been lacklustre, with 2 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses, resulting in 15 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the Championship, they’ve gained only 10 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 home matches. A notable observation is that the most common scoreline at half-time during their home fixtures has been 0-0, occurring in 8 of their 21 games. Their attack has been reasonably reliable, managing to find the net in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Out of the 42 matches played in this competition, they’ve conceded the first goal 24 times and have only managed to turn the score around in 3 instances.

Watford enters this match following a 2-1 defeat. During their visit to West Bromwich, their sole goal came from Moussa Sissoko. The home team usually adopts an attacking approach, typically setting up in a 4-3-3 formation, characterised by persistent pressure on the opposing defence. The key players upfront for Watford will be Moussa Sissoko, Tom Ine, and Breast Doumbia. Offensive efforts mainly develop through the centre, with Imran Louza highlighted for his organisation and vision on the ball. Watford will be missing Giorgi Chakvetadze, Kévin Keben, and Kwadwo Baah, all sidelined due to injuries.

Team analysis: Burnley

The visiting team currently sits atop the league with 88 points, boasting 24 wins, 16 draws, and only 2 losses. They held Derby County to a (0-0) draw in their penultimate match, before defeating Norwich City (2-1) in their last encounter. Burnley exhibits impressive consistency, showing little variation in their performance at home and away. Over the last 30 games, they have recorded 9 wins, 5 draws, and just 1 loss as visitors, with 20 goals scored and only 7 conceded. At home, Burnley has also been formidable, securing 9 wins and 6 draws, scoring 21 goals and conceding merely 4.

In this competition, they remain unbeaten in their last 14 games on the road. The most common result at half-time in their away games has been 0-0, occurring in 9 out of 21 matches. Moreover, Burnley has consistently found the back of the net, managing to score in 8 of their last 10 fixtures in this league. There is a tendency for low-scoring affairs in their away games, as 16 of their last 21 matches have concluded with under 2.5 goals. Of the 42 matches played in this competition, they have managed to turn the score around in 3 of the 8 instances where they conceded first.

Burnley’s squad approaches this match following a 2-1 victory at home against Norwich, with goals from Hannibal and Jaidon Anthony. The visitors utilise a 4-3-3 tactical formation, prioritising an attacking style and high pressing. In this setup, the primary danger to opposing defences comes from Marcus Edwards, Zian Flemming, and Jaidon Anthony. Their offensive strategies typically focus on the right flank, exploiting the width provided by Connor Roberts. However, the team will be missing Jordan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Mike Treenage, Jonjo Shelvey, Ease Agyei, and Lyle Foster due to injuries.
