Norwich vs Watford Predictions

Norwich can punish Watford’s away struggles

Norwich are more dangerous in the final third than their opponents, and that should tell us all we need to know about this game.

Both teams are at the wrong end of the table, with Norwich 20th and Watford 21st. The hosts have won four and lost eight of their 12 games, while Watford have three wins and seven defeats.

The visitors’ defence has been far from watertight. Watford have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 19 Championship games and have conceded in all six of their away days this season, shipping an average of 1.83 goals per game.

The hosts have the edge up front. Norwich have scored three goals or more in five of their 12 Championship games this season, while Watford have been disappointing in front of goal away from home, scoring just two goals in six games – an average of 0.33 goals a game on the road.

The visitors need to turn things around. Watford have won just once in their last six Championship matches and have lost ten of their last 11 away days.

Norwich to get the 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option. Watford are on a losing run of five straight Championship away games, and two of Norwich’s four wins this season have been by a two-goal margin.
