📊 Match recap and data context

Peterborough United demolished Watford 5-1 at Vicarage Road in the Carabao Cup, a result that sent our model's Watford win pick at 50% probability to defeat. The visitors' clinical finishing punished a Watford side mired in poor form, having won none of their last five matches. Peterborough's recent momentum, with two wins in their last five outings, proved decisive on the night. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
