Match Facts
Cardiff City won their last league game against Watford in April, last enjoying consecutive victories over the Hornets in March 2010 in a run of three.
Watford have won their last four away league games against Cardiff, scoring 13 goals across these victories, although they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any.
Cardiff have won each of their last four home league games, as many as in their previous 22 (D7 L11); it’s their longest such run since winning seven consecutive games between January/March 2018 under Neil Warnock.
Watford have won four of their last six league trips to Wales (L2), though did lose the most recent visit 4-0 to Swansea in December 2022; their heaviest defeat there in the Football League since December 1974.
Iké Ugbo has been directly involved in more goals than any other Cardiff player in the Championship this season (4 – three goals, one assist), but hasn’t scored or assisted since netting against Sheffield Wednesday in August.
