Take a quick glance at some of the key pre-match stats ahead of Albion's Sky Bet Championship showdown with Watford at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm)...
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Albion have the chance to go seven home matches unbeaten against Watford this weekend (W3, D3). They also have an opportunity to secure a third straight home win over the Hornets having beaten them 3-0 in April 2026 and 2-1 in April 2025.
None of the last 12 meetings have been won by the away team, with the home side claiming eight victories, including in all of the last four fixtures between the clubs. The last time the visitors won in this particular showdown was in April 2016 when Ben Watson's goal secured a 1-0 success for Watford in the Premier League.
There have been at least three goals scored in all of the last seven head-to-head matches. There's been a total of 25 goals scored in those seven fixtures.
The Hornets have scored in 12 of their last 13 games against the Albion. The only time they failed to find the back of the net during that sequence was when they last visited The Hawthorns in April earlier this year (3-0 defeat).
Saturday's showdown will be the 50th match between the two teams. Albion have the better head-to-head record with 20 victories to Watford's 16. There have also been 13 draws.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Wednesday night's 1-1 draw at home to Charlton Athletic extended Albion's unbeaten run at home to nine matches. The result also means boss James Morrison is now undefeated in nine fixtures at The Hawthorns when taking charge of the team.
Both teams have scored in all of Albion's last seven matches in all competitions.
Only Middlesbrough have made more passes than the Baggies in the second tier heading into this weekend's schedule. James Morrison's men have made 2,257, with Boro completing 2,335.
The score has been level at the break in all four of Albion's league games so far this season.
WATFORD
The Hornets have won two, drawn two and lost two of their first six matches in all competitions in 2026/27. Their 2-0 reverse at Swansea City in midweek means they've now gone four games without a win, but that defeat was their first of the second-tier term.
Watford are winless in eight away matches (D2, L6). Their last triumph on their travels was a 2-1 success at Bristol City on February 27, 2026.
Saturday's visitors have scored exactly one goal in four of their first six matches in all competitions.
The Hornets will be intent on getting back to winning ways having tasted victory in just one of their last 12 encounters in the Sky Bet Championship.
