When Watford are described as being hit and miss under Slaven Bilic, it is an accurate assessment, yet their points tally since his arrival should not be lost in translation.
While the Croatian has lost four of his first 10 games in charge, he has won the other six, collecting a total of 18 points and successfully moving the Hornets into the top six.
Watford have prevailed from four of their last five outings, the most recent positive result coming earlier this week as a goal in either half from Joao Pedro earned his side a 2-0 triumph over Reading.
The Brazilian now has four strikes in five appearances, a considerable improvement from his return during the early weeks of the campaign, and it is in defence which could make or break whether Watford stay in promotion contention.
Despite conceding 22 times in 20 games this season, just two goals have been shipped in five matches since the 3-0 defeat at Millwall on October 19.
Bristol’s performance at home is as per expectations this season as they managed (W4 D2 L4) to win on four occasions out of ten league games. They lost their last home game against the Blades (0-1).
Earlier they played a draw against Swansea City (1-1) at home. In their ten home league games, Bristol scored 13 goals against their visitors and conceded 10 in return.
Bristol’s away performance is also poor as they managed (W2 L5 D3) to win on just two occasions out of ten. With 23 points in 20 games, Bristol is sitting in the 20th position. They have netted 27 goals this season and conceded 29 in return.
Nahki Wells is the team’s top scorer with 7 goals and 3 assists followed by Tommy Conway (6) and Andres Weimann (4) respectively 2nd and 3rd positions.
Bristol’s possible lineup
O’Leary; Vyner, Klose, Pring; Semenyo, Williams, James, Scott, Weimann; Wells, Conway.
Watford’s Form
Watford’s performance at away is not as per expectations this season (W2 L4 D4) as they just managed to win twice out of ten league games. They won their last away game against Cardiff City (2-1).
Earlier they lost their 2 away games in a row against Wigan (0-1) and Millwall (0-3). In their 10 away league games, Watford has scored 10 goals against their hosts and conceded 12 in return.
At home, they have won (W6 D1 L3) five out of ten league games this season. With 32 points in 20 games, Watford is sitting in the 5th position. They have netted 28 goals this season and conceded 22 in return.
Joao Pedro is the team’s top scorer with 6 goals and 2 assists followed by Ismail Sarr (4) and Keinan Davis (4) respectively 2nd and 3rd positions.
Watford’s possible lineup
Bachmann; Gosling, Troost-Ekong, Kabasele, Sema; Choudhury, Kayembe; Asprilla, Pedro, Sarr; Davis.
Bristol vs Watford expert tips
Bristol is winless in the last three games at home. On the other end, Watford won against Cardiff after losing three away games in a row. After analyzing all the facts, we are expecting a draw here or Bristol to win. In this match, we can expect less than 2.5 goals as historically both teams have scored less than 3 goals in a face-off.
Having made changes for the 3-1 defeat to Lincoln City in the EFL Cup, Pearson could revert to the Bristol City side which started the game at Middlesbrough.
However, there could be a change at wing-back with Jay Dasilva potentially coming in on the left flank and Antoine Semenyo dropping down to the substitutes’ bench.
George Tanner remains suspended after his straight red card against Sheffield United on November 1.
Watford will be able to call upon Hassane Kamara and Francisco Sierralta after the pair each served one-match bans.
The pair may return to the starting lineup to replace Christian Kabasele and Edo Kayembe, depending on whether Bilic wishes to freshen up his first XI.
