Swansea City welcome Watford to the Liberty Stadium in Gameweek 22’s final stanza. The Swans look to rebound from a heavy defeat at the hands of Sunderland last time out, while the Hornets will be hoping to end their three-match losing streak.
Swansea struggled on the offensive end over the previous four Gameweeks, tallying the fewest attempts (31), second-fewest shots inside the box (18) and joint-second-fewest big chances (two). The Welsh outfit also chalked up the second-fewest key passes (24), highlighting their paucity of creativity. It was a mixed bag from a defensive perspective, with six goals conceded and two clean sheets registered over that stretch.
The Hornets have experienced a slump in form since Gameweek 18, ranking second-bottom for shots on target (eight) and bottom for key passes (21). Only two sides posted a worse shot accuracy than Watford (21.6%), so they’ll need to recalibrate their sights for this head-to-head. Standards at the back have dropped, with Quique Sanchez Flores’ men conceding the joint-most goals (eight) and joint-fourth-most shots inside the box (36) over the previous four Gameweeks.
