Watford has, until today, finished 39% of the matches of this season’s Championship with 3 or more goals (scored and conceded). That is 11 matches out of 28, compared with the league average of 46%.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

Out of the 28 matches that Middlesbrough has taken part in this season, 18 of them finished with Both Teams Scoring. Will we see one more match with a tendency for goals?

Watford, on the other hand, has both scored and conceded in the same 90’ on 10.92 occasions out of the 28 times it played for the Championship this season.

Expected Goals (xG)

We mentioned earlier that Middlesbrough averages 1.5 goals scored per match so far in this season’s competition. It is also important to note that the home team has an average of 1.53 expected goals per match, which means that it is expected to create some goal scoring opportunities in today’s match.

Watford is one of the most dangerous teams when it comes to taking advantage of goal scoring chances. They have 1.44 expected goals per match so far in the competition, and will be looking to make some damage in the opposition’s defence this time around.

Expected Goals Against (xGA)

The hosts of today’s match have a few strong points in the backline and have shown us some good defensive moments so far this season. The team averages 1.24 xGA so far this season, and will be motivated to show us that it is solid at the back.

The visitors need to keep their goal safe if they want to win all 3 points. So the xGA season average of 1.49 will need to be kept as close to 0 as possible for today’s match if Watford wants all 3 points.
