Watford will be looking for back-to-back wins when they travel to Portsmouth on Wednesday (19:45 BST). Portsmouth are seeking their first win in three games following a draw against Southampton and two consecutive defeats against Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town on Saturday. The Hornets will be looking to claim their first away win of the Championship season and make it two wins in a row, after Saturday's comeback victory against Hull City. ● After their 1-0 win in April, Portsmouth could win back-to-back league meetings with Watford for the first time since April 1996 (3 in a row). ● The side playing at home has won each of the last eight league matches between Portsmouth and Watford, with the Hornets losing each of their last five away to Pompey. ● Portsmouth have lost two of their three home league games this season (W1) and could lose back-to-back home league matches for the first time since September 2024. ● Watford have lost seven of their last eight away league games (D1), with each defeat coming by a one-goal margin. ● Watford are winless in their last nine midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) away league outings (D4 L5) since a 1-0 triumph at Swansea in October 2023.

Am at the Premier Inn Gatwick prior to early flight tomorrow poor WiFi here but hope to watch but unlikely to chat. Enjoy the game all.
You're more patient than me, Mex. Baah ripped Ogilvie apart last time he played against him. Ogilvie just couldn't handle him. So obviously Baah is on the bench. No ****ing research.
