Recent respective form guides

Watford losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to 8.

The away form of Rotherham U. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Millers have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Watford's 26 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 7 points.
