Watford prepare to entertain Cardiff City at Vicarage Road Stadium at lunchtime on Wednesday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 3 of the 20 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was two seasons ago, in February 2006, the Hornets carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Watford's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Hornets have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bluebirds have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Watford are leading the way in the Coca-Cola Championship, with their 23 games giving them a return of 43 points. Cardiff City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 29 points from their 23 games played so far,
