Watford and Hull meet at Vicarage Road for the 41st round of the Championship. Their last encounter in this competition, on 11-12-2024, ended in a 1-1 draw. In the last three years, there have been 3 draws and a victory for each team in the last 5 meetings.

Team analysis: Watford
After 15 wins, 8 draws, and 17 losses, Watford currently sits in 10th place, having accrued 53 points. Their last match saw them lose to Bristol City (2-1), following a goalless draw against Plymouth Argyle at home.

Across 40 league matches, Watford have conceded the first goal 23 times, managing only 3 comebacks.
After the defeat to Bristol City, Watford’s sole goal was netted by Mamadou Doumbia. The team is expected to adopt a 4-3-3 formation, with Rocco Vata, Kwadwo Baah, and Vakoun Bayo leading the attack. Moussa Sissoko plays an essential role in midfield, aiding in match organisation and creating significant passing opportunities. However, they will be without Kévin Keben and Kwadwo Baah due to injury concerns.

Hull City enters this encounter after a narrow victory, with Charlie Hughes securing the win against Sheffield Wednesday.
