Birmingham City vs Watford

Birmingham City welcome Watford to St Andrews Stadium for a Monday night English Championship fixture, with both teams showing contrasting form at the moment.

The hosts are pushing for the playoff places and come into this clash with a solid home record. They will be full of confidence against the Hornets, who have found things difficult on their travels.

Birmingham City News

Birmingham are coming off a 1-1 draw at West Brom last time out in the Championship, with Marvin Ducksch’s second-half effort earning them a share of the spoils. That result means Chris Davies' team are now unbeaten in four of their last five matches, with three wins on this run, leaving them just two points off the top six.

St Andrew's is where the magic often happens for Birmingham City, who have won their last three home matches. They eased to a 4-1 victory over Norwich City last time out in front of their fans, with Ducksch and Jay Stansfield each scoring a brace.

That result highlights Birmingham City’s attacking quality, having scored over 1.5 goals in their last five home matches. All five fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Watford News

Watford are currently sitting in the bottom half of the table and will be looking to make a push for the top 10. They are unbeaten in their last five matches and played out a 1-1 home draw with Preston North End in their previous Championship fixture.

One area that needs improvement for Watford is their record on their travels, having picked up just one win in their last eight away matches. However, that win came in their previous fixture on the road, a 3-2 victory at Derby County.

Watford adopt an open style of play, which often ensures there are goals in their matches. Three of the last five away matches for Javi Gracia's team have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Watford have 10 wins while Birmingham City have four victories, with two draws in the last 16 matches. The visitors claimed a 1-0 away win in the last meeting back in 2024.

Verdict

Birmingham v Watford

Birmingham City are the team in form at the moment and have won their last three home matches. They should get the better of Watford, who have been unconvincing on their travels this season.

The Blues often impress going forward, and having scored over 1.5 goals in their last five home matches, a repeat could be on the cards. With those five fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals, Monday's clash is likely to serve up a similar outcome.
