Preview
Watford and Middlesbrough face at Vicarage Road, in a match for the 1st round of the Championship. In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 14‑01‑2017 and ended in a (0‑0) draw, and the latest on 16‑10‑2016, which ended in a (0‑1) win by Watford. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Watford

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after not having avoided relegation, due to the 19th position in the last edition. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Tottenham Hotspur by (2‑1). In the last 10 home matches Watford has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 15 of the last 22 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

Watford come to this clash motivated after a 2-1 win over Tottenham. The hosts usually play in a tactical system in 4-4-2, favoring fast transitions, mainly through the wings. In this tactical formation, the two players that are usually chosen to occupy the most advanced zone are: Danny Welbeck and Troy Deeney. Coach Vladimir Ivic is expected to have two absences for this round, both due to injury: Daryl Janmaat and Nathaniel Chalobah.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Christian Kabasele, Kiko Femenía, Ben Wilmot, Craig Cathcart, Jeremy Ngakia, Domingos Quina, Nathaniel Chalobah, Ken Sema, João Pedro.
Coach: T. Cleverley, S. Bilić.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 17th last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 24 conceded. In their last match, for the League Cup, they got a home win against Shrewsbury Town by (4‑3). In the last 10 away matches Middlesbrough has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Middlesbrough come to this clash motivated after a 4-3 home win over Shrewsbury Town, counting for the English League Cup: Johnson, Fletcher and Tavernier scored the the team's goals. The visiting team usually play in a 5-3-2, where the two most advanced players are Fletcher and Assombalonga. When they invest in the offensive process, they usually do it through the right side aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by the English Djed Spence. The team's brain is the English Tavernier, responsible for defining and conducting the attacks. Coach Neil Warnock should be very pleased to have all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcus Bettinelli, Grant Hall, Djed Spence, Anfernee Dijksteel, Marvin Johnson, Paddy McNair, Jonathan Howson, Marcus Tavernier, George Saville, Ashley Fletcher, Britt Assombalonga.
