Two struggling clubs meet when Wolves take on Watford. Opta prepares the tale of the tape.

"Watford have conceded at least once in each of their last 18 Premier League games – only between September 1999 and March 2000 have they had a longer run without a clean sheet in the top-flight (20 games)."

Both teams to score is 1.9110/11.

This will be third Premier League meeting between Wolves and Watford, with both sides winning one game each last season, each time doing so away from home. Watford are 4.77/2 to win.

The home team has failed to win any of the last five league meetings between Wolves and Watford (W0 D2 L3) since the Hornets won 2-1 at Vicarage Road in November 2012. The draw is 3.55.

Wolves have won only three of their 12 Premier League matches against teams starting the day bottom of the table (W3 D2 L7). Watford are 2.0421/20 to avoid defeat in the Double Chance market.

Watford are only the third team to concede 18 goals in their first six Premier League games of a season, after Newcastle in 1999-00 and Southampton in 2012-13 (both 18) - neither side were relegated in those seasons. Over 2.5 goals is 2.0621/20.

Wolverhampton Wanderers lost their last Premier League home game, conceding as many goals against Chelsea in a 2-5 defeat as they had in their previous nine games in the competition at Molineux. Over 3.5 goals is 3.7511/4.

Watford are winless in 10 Premier League games (D3 L7), their longest such run in the competition since January 2007 (11 games). A Wolves win is 1.9420/21.

Watford have conceded at least once in each of their last 18 Premier League games - only between September 1999 and March 2000 have they had a longer run without a clean sheet in the top-flight (20 games). Both teams to score is 1.9110/11.

Watford have mustered the fourth highest amount of shots among Premier League teams this season (91) and have the ninth highest expected goals total (8.48). However, no side has scored fewer goals than the Hornets (4), while they also have the lowest conversion rate in the division (4%). Under 2.5 goals is 1.8810/11.

Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo and Watford's Quique Sanchez Flores have met once previously, when Valencia faced Getafe in February 2015 in LaLiga - Santo's Valencia won 1-0. A 1-0 win for Wolves is 8.07/1.

Watford's Gerard Deulofeu has had more shots (18) and more shots on target (8) without scoring than any other player in the Premier League so far this season. Deulofeu is 4.3100/30 to break his duck.
