Watford are scheduled to host West Ham United on 28th December after their game against Wolves on Boxing Day was postponed. The game pits two sides in poor form and heading there, the hosts are 17th in the league table with 13 points while West Ham are fifth with 28 points. It hasn’t been great for Watford and Claudio Ranieri will hope the postponement of their Boxing Day clash gives them good rest. They are on four straight losses and in each of these losses they’ve conceded two or more goals. In 18 matches this season, Watford have managed just one clean sheet and heading to this game both sides have scored in each of the last five matches. Each of the five matches has produced over 2.5 goals.

West Ham United are coming from yet another loss; they were beaten 3-2 at home by Southampton. They are now winless in the last five matches, losing four, and have conceded two or more goals in each of the last three. The Hammers haven’t been the strongest in defence, with just one clean sheet coming from their last five matches and the fact that they’ve failed to score in three of the last five matches leaves them in a bad position going to this game. Against Southampton, West Ham twice came from behind but couldn’t punish their visitors. In the end, it was the fourth game in five that they’ve conceded first and the third league game in four that they conceded two or more goals. Both sides have scored in three of West Ham’s last five league matches and in two of them they’ve managed to score two or more goals.
