This season Bluebirds are very strong at creating scoring chances and protecting the lead. However, they are really weak at keeping possession of the ball, defending against skillful players and long shots. Very likely that at home pitch they will take more shots and attempt crosses often.

Watford is strong at creating chances through individual skills, as they have a very fast and strong attacking line. Very likely that they will play aggressively, attack through the middle and pass the long balls. They are weak at keeping possession of the ball and protecting the lead.
