MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
• Aron Gunnarsson's late header gave Cardiff a 2-1 win over Watford in the reverse fixture in October - and ensured they started a season with six successive home league wins for the first time in their history .
• Cardiff have lost only one of their last 10 Championship games against the Hornets; 4-1 at Vicarage Road in December 2010.
• Watford have avoided defeat in 11 of their last 12 home second-tier league matches against the Welsh club over 42 years, the exception being a 4-0 reverse in October 2009.
Watford
• Watford go into the weekend one place and one point outside the automatic promotion places, with the best Championship record in 2013, winning nine out of 16 games and notching 30 points.
• They have a 50% winning record in league games at Vicarage Road this season (10 of 20), and victory would give the Hornets 37 home points, one more than they gained in total on their own turf last term with two further matches to play.
• Gianfranco Zola's side boast the strongest attack in the Football League going into weekend's games (76 goals in 40 games).
Cardiff City
• Victory over Watford would leave Cardiff requiring a maximum of five more points from six games to secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time, and a return to top-flight football after an absence of 51 years.
• The Bluebirds have won two of their last six games, but are aiming to clinch a third maximum in four.
• A point for Malky Mackay's current club against his former one would give Cardiff their 500th away draw in league football, in their 900th away fixture at second-tier level.
• David Marshall could keep goal for Cardiff for the 150th time.

Realistically think it will finish 2-2. Both teams are confident and vital match for both teams. It's going to be end to end and our defense must be on form to keep out the likes of Vydra and Deeney. Going to be a good game and would settle for a draw right now but we are more than capable of winning

I still think that we will narrowly beat them whether or not statistics are on our side.

Draw would suit me. Stay ahead of 3rd with games running out.

Obviously we want to beat Watford but if we draw we are 99% likely to go up as Watford need a win really if they are to finish above us.

Even if Watford were to beat us we would still need to implode for them to catch us. We should be going up as champions now irrespective of todays result. We just need to win 3 of our remaining games.

Will be happy with a draw - win will be great
