Watford enters their final Championship game of the season at Vicarage Road on Saturday (12:30 BST) facing Coventry City. The Hornets are currently at the bottom of the league's form guide, having secured no wins and suffered five defeats in their last six matches.
Coventry City, in contrast, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to an eighth game as they travel to Watford. The Golden Boys have struggled against the Sky Blues, remaining winless in their last eight league meetings, which includes four draws and four losses, since a 3-2 victory in November 2020.
Following their 3-1 triumph in October, Coventry City has the opportunity to complete their first league double over Watford since the 2004-05 season. Historically, Watford has a poor record in their final league games, winning only two of the past 13 seasons, with three draws and eight defeats, including a 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday last term.
Coventry City, however, could achieve a significant milestone by winning their final game of successive Championship seasons for the first time since 2005-06/2006-07, following their 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough on MD46 last year. Adding to their strong season, Coventry City's manager Frank Lampard boasts an impressive points-per-game ratio of 1.82 among managers with over 100 Championship games, placing him behind only Scott Parker (1.95) and Daniel Farke (1.92).
This fixture at Vicarage Road presents a challenging end to the season for Watford, who will be eager to break their winless streak and finish on a positive note. Coventry City, meanwhile, aims to cap off their campaign with another strong performance and maintain their impressive form.
