However, their streak comes with a caveat, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last six home matches.

Watford, unlike their opponents, are in a poor form, preparing for the match after four consecutive losses against Fulham, Sheffield United, QPR and Cardiff City. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last ten away matches in a row.

This Championship match offers a platform for Cardiff City and Watford’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Cardiff City’s attacking options, under Omer Riza’s guidance, have been bolstered by Callum Robinson, the team’s top scorer, and Alex Robertson, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Robinson leads Cardiff City’s scoring charts in Championship this season with eight goals, while Colwill remains their top assist provider in the competition with four. Cardiff City’s offense has also been strengthened by Ollie Tanner, Cian Ashford and Anwar El Ghazi, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, Watford’s offensive unit, under Tom Cleverley’s management, has leaned on Vakoun Issouf Bayo, their main scorer, and Giorgi Chakvetadze, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Bayo has already scored nine goals in Championship this season, with Chakvetadze leading their creative tally in the league with six assists.
