Recent respective form guides

Watford's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Hornets have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough United's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Posh's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Watford are stuck down in the relegation zone of npower Championship with a return of just 10 points from their 13 games thus far.

Peterborough United's 19 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
