Following a disappointing defeat at Luton Town last time out (Saturday April 1), Watford will be hoping to kickstart a late push for a top-six finish by bouncing back to winning ways at home to Huddersfield Town on Good Friday (April 7, 3pm KO).

As the countdown to kick-off continues, we take a look at all the stats, facts and figures surrounding the enticing Sky Bet Championship encounter.

Watford have won four of their last five league games against Huddersfield Town - including the reverse fixture at the end of 2022 - losing the other game 2-0 in December 2020.

Three of Watford’s last four goals against the Terriers have been scored by João Pedro. It’s the most goals he’s scored against a side in the league for the Hornets.

The last six league meetings between Watford and Huddersfield at Vicarage Road (between 2013 and 2021) have produced 25 goals (15 Watford goals, 10 Huddersfield goals), averaging 4.2 per game.

The visitors have failed to score in their previous two league meetings with the Golden Boys (L2); they’ve never gone three games or more without scoring against them in the Football League.

Since a 2-0 defeat to Millwall on Boxing Day, Watford are unbeaten in their last seven league games at Vicarage Road (W3 D4); the Hornets haven’t started a calendar year with a longer unbeaten home run since 1978 (13 games).

The Hornets are winless in their last nine league games when conceding the game’s opening goal (D2 L7), since beating Cardiff 2-1 in November.

Huddersfield have won each of their last two league games - one more than in their previous 13 (D5 L7) - and they could win three in a row for the first time since May 2022 (run of four).

Only Middlesbrough (21) and Burnley (18) have earned more points from losing positions in the Championship this season than the Yorkshiremen (15), three of which came last time out against Boro.

Forward Jordan Rhodes is Huddersfield’s top scorer this season with five goals in 32 Championship games, while he also tops the squad rankings for shots on target (18).

Exciting young midfielder Jack Rudoni has featured in each of Town’s 39 league clashes so far this campaign, and the 21-year-old leads the way for shots off target (21), passes in the opposition’s half (664), dribbles attempted (83) and tackles attempted (58).

Experienced backliner Tom Lees boasts the most passes attempted (1,548) and passes in Huddersfield’s half (956), while his defensive partner Michał Helik is top of the charts for clearances (182), blocks (34) and interceptions (52).
