Supercomputer predicts outcome of West Brom vs Watford showdown in Championship
West Bromwich Albion host Watford in search of a big three points this Saturday.
Albion are on a run of three games without a win in all competitions, but will face another stiff Championship outfit in Watford this weekend.
The Baggies were held to a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic at The Hawthorns last time out, but will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways on home soil this time round.
Alessio Dionisi's side started the season off strong with two wins in from two, but are winless in four, which arguably makes the prospect of beating the Hornets even greater.
That's because the Watford boss will know that head coach's do not get a long life span at Vicarage Road, so a turn of results are needed soon.
But James Morrison will have confidence from West Brom's home record against Watford, as they could add another win over the Hertfordshire-based side.
Supercomputer predicts West Brom for three out of three return vs Watford
Morrison will have a selection dilemma heading into the clash, with the likes of Aune Heggebo and Rabby Nzingoula, among others, itching for a start.
Morrison has already overseen a vital win over the Hornets, winning 3-0 last time out at The Hawthorns in April thanks to goals from Isaac Price, Danny Imray and Daryl Dike.
Albion have won their past two home games in the Championship against Watford, and Opta's supercomputer has predicted the Black Country Club for three in a row this weekend.
Opta has the Baggies favourites to win the contest at 51.7 per cent, while the visitors only have a an estimated 24.2 per cent opportunity for three points.
This leaves a 24.1 per cent chance of their being a draw in the contest.
However, Morrison may know exactly how to make sure victory belongs to West Brom come Saturday.
The stats James Morrison will pay attention to ahead of Watford
West Brom have shown that they can be an early outsider for a play-off spot this season, with a high emphasis on control in games this campaign.
They rank seventh for the most possession in the league with 55.5 per cent, while Watford are second bottom with 38.2 per cent.
This is a mixture of the Hornets being unable to control play, while also showcasing how they set up to counter-attack opponents.
But Dionisi's side are third bottom for goals per match with 1.0, and the same can be said for their poor xG difference so far at -3.30.
Morrison knows that so long as his team control the play, individuals like Isaac Price and Jimmy-Jay Morgan are bound to have a moment where they can produce some magic to score or assist a match-winning goal.
