Before the season started, most pundits saw Watford as a mid-table team. However, after 13 rounds, the club from Hertfordshire is in the promotion zone, so surely some fans already dream about returning to the Premier League. After some bad matches in September and October, Watford returned on the right track with two wins in the last two matches. In the previous game, they won 6-2 on the road against Sheffield Wednesday. In probably the best match of the season, Watford created an amazing xG of 3.37, so their win was well-deserved.
After promotion from League One, Oxford United's main priority is to stay away from relegation. After 13 rounds, Des Buckingham's team are with two points more than the drop zone. Oxford United didn't play well in the previous weeks as they are winless in the previous eight matches. Last weekend, Buckingham's side lost 2-1 at home against Swansea. Guests were significantly better as they finished the game with 64% ball possession and seven shots on the goal more than the home team. Now, Oxford United will travel to Watford, where they will hardly break a winless run.
Watford vs Oxford United pick: Watford to win
Watford are brilliant at the home stadium with five wins and one draw. On the other hand, Oxford United have a 0-2-6 record away from home. Watford should win on Friday night against their struggling opponent.
