Following four straight home league wins against Watford between 2001 and 2012, Birmingham City have since won just one of five such matches against the Hornets (D1 L3).
Watford have won nine of their last 11 league meetings with Birmingham City (D1 L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory.
Birmingham City have lost just one of their nine home league games played on a Saturday this season (W4 D4) but it did come in their most recent such game against Southampton, losing 4-3 despite leading twice.
Watford have won just one of their last 10 league games (D3 L6), a 1-0 win against bottom of the table Rotherham in February; each of their last five wins have come away from home, however.
Watford defender Ryan Porteous has scored in back-to-back league appearances, netting the same number of goals as he managed across his first 44 Championship outings for Watford (2 goals).
