Skybet Championship: Brighton-Watford Statistical Preview

Team News

Brighton

• Top scorer Leonardo Ulloa is out until the new year.
• Craig Mackail-Smith and Liam Bridcutt are both nearing a return, but are unlikely to play.
• Kazenga Lua Lua is the latest Albion player to pick up an injury and will be out until Christmas.

Watford

• Troy Deeney is set to return after missing last weeks defeat at home to Derby.

Match Facts

• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Brighton’s last 10 games in Championship.

Prediction

• One win in six games for Brighton has halted their rise up the table and the lack of goals in the side is a real worry.
• Albion sit comfortably in mid-table, but they need to make the Amex a fortress in order to reach the play offs for a second successive season.
• Watford are looking good for their own play off push, but two defeats in their last three games has seen them drop out of the top six.
• However the divisions top scorers are always a dangerous side to play and they could earn a valuable away win on the south coast.
