Watford to win

This will be a tense battle at Vicarage Road. We believe Watford’s better fortunes in front of goal will be the difference here with Norwich only scoring three away goals all season while conceding 25 goals in ten away fixtures.

Correct Score – Watford 1-0 Norwich City

This will be a scrappy affair at the bottom of the table and one goal will likely be all it takes to secure the three points.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Watford vs Norwich City

It is similar stories for both sides as in both Watford and Norwich’s last Premier League action they both ended six-game losing streaks.

Watford secured a crucial point in their 1-1 draw away to Newcastle last Saturday, while Norwich defeated Everton 2-1 signalling the end of Rafa Benitez’s spell in charge of the Toffees.

Watford are just outside the bottom three and have a chance to put a little distance between them and the other sides at the foot of the table.

With games in hand over most of the relegation threatened sides, boss, Claudio Ranieri will hammer home the importance of coming away with all three points to pressurize the other sides at the bottom.

Watford have far more firepower in front of goal than Norwich and have managed to out score two sides within the league’s Top 10, however, it is likely there will be few goals in this one and under 2.5 goals in the match, priced at 1.85, should be considered.

Norwich will hope to keep their confidence high after an unexpected victory over Everton last Saturday. They also ended a six-game goalless streak in the Premier League with their two goals scored.

It is possible for Norwich to make it two wins from two, they are facing a fellow struggling side. However, this Norwich side have only scored three away goals all season and Norwich to score no goals, priced at 2.7, should be considered.

Quick Rich

Under 2.5 goals is fancied in this one, but we believe there will be only one goal in this one.

For better returns on the over/under goals lines, under 1.5 goals is currently priced at 3.4.

Watford vs Norwich City Team News

Watford have a number of players missing for this one. Imran Louza, Adam Masina and William Troost-Ekong are all on African Cup of Nations duty, while Nicolas Nkoulou, Peter Etebo, Kwadwo Baah and Ismaila Sarr are all out due to injury.

Norwich’s Tim Krul, Max Aarons and Brandon Williams all suffered knocks in the win over Everton and some or all might miss this match. Boss, Dean Smith is also suffering a shortage of midfielders as Mathias Normann, Billy Gilmour, Lukas Rupp and Kenny McLean are all out.

Norwich City: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Williams, Sargent, Sorensen, Lees-Melou, Rashica, Pukki, Idah

Highlighted Player

Emmanuel Dennis

The tricky winger/forward has scored eight goals so far this season placing him joint fourth in the top scorers chart. He has also contributed five assists. He will be one of the few players on the pitch who could conjure up that one bit of magic to secure all three points for his side.
