Pick of the stats: Watford v Millwall
- Published
Watford host Millwall on Saturday (12:30 GMT) in a game likely to test each team's Championship play-off credentials.
After five straight home defeats, the Hornets stopped the rot with victory over Luton in their last fixture at Vicarage Road and could go level on points with the play-off places, for a few hours at least, with another victory here.
The Lions lie four points and two places back in 12th, having gone down 2-0 at home to Bristol City on Tuesday in their game in hand following Saturday's FA Cup fifth round defeat at Crystal Palace.
Watford have lost three of their past five league games against Millwall (W1 D1), as many defeats as across their prior 20 meetings with the Lions combined (W12 D5).
Millwall are unbeaten across their past two away league games against Watford (W1 D1), last enjoying a longer run at Vicarage Road between 1995 and 2002.
Since losing 4-0 to Leeds, Watford haven't conceded a goal in any of their past three Championship games. The Hornets last kept four clean sheets in a row in November/December 2022.
Millwall have won three of their past five away league games, as many as they'd won in their previous 18 on the road. Each of their past six away wins have been via a 1-0 scoreline.
Watford have scored seven penalties in the Championship this season, the most of any side. It's their most in a league season since 2020-21 (10).
