A 3-3 draw and a point gained against Coventry City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Watford last time out.  In that game they had 47% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Coventry City who had 16 attempts and 7 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have failed to score in their last 2 home games.  

It's been a mixed run of form for Watford recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.

Birmingham City manager John Eustace will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Millwall.  They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.  

On an individual basis, Lukas Jutkiewicz will be looking to cause Watford some problems having scored 3 goals in Birmingham City's last 6 away games in the league.
