Match Facts

  • Watford have won each of their last two league games against Middlesbrough and will be looking to win three in succession versus Boro for the first time in their EFL history.

  • This century, Middlesbrough have won just two of their 12 away league games against Watford (D2 L8), losing on three of their last four visits to Vicarage Road.

  • Watford have won 11 points from losing positions in the Championship so far this season, the most of any side in the competition.

  • Excluding own goals, Middlesbrough have had the most different goalscorers so far in the 2025-26 Championship campaign (11).

  • Watford remain as the only Championship side without a clean sheet this season after 12 matches – it is the furthest the Hornets have ever gone into a second-tier campaign without keeping one.
