Stoke have seen it all in their last three matches, which gave them four points. Against Reading, they came out empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 0-3 win against Hull. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 0-0 draw against Queens P.R.. Stoke claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew three and lost one, scored seven goals and conceded five.
They were regarded as contenders for a medal, but to achieve that Stoke will have to raise their level.
In their last three matches, Watford drew 1-1 with Rotherham, lost 2-0 against Blackburn, and drew 2-2 with Sunderland. In their last six Championship away matches, Watford failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn four and lost two, scoring three while also conceding seven times.
Ambitions are high for Watford, and winning the title is still very much a possibility.
Stoke find it just as tough as Watford to get on the scoreboard these days, and a match short on goal looks highly likely, when they clash at Bet365 Stadium.
