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.

The Golden Boys have lost just two of their last 10 away league games (W5 D3), after losing four of their first eight such games to begin 2023/24 (W1 D3).

Birmingham are winless in their last five league games (D1 L4) and could lose three in a row for the first time since October.

Despite conceding the fifth most goals in the league (58), the Blues are yet to let in a goal from the penalty spot in the 2023/24 campaign.

On-loan Jay Stansfield currently sits as their top scorer (9), as well as directing the most shots on target (24). However, he has also been caught offside the most (14).
