Watford vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
A top drawer clash in the Championship is on the cards when Watford hosts Norwich City in in the 21st round of matches this Saturday. Hosts Watford are looking to rise to third in their quest for promotion back to the Premier League while Norwich wants to conso9lidate top spot with a win against one of the serious promotion contenders. Going to the game Watford are placed fifth on 34 points while Norwich top the standings on 43 points. Watford will also be looking to rise from their 2-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town in their last match. That loss was their second in 11 matches while they have two clean sheets in their last five matches and failed to score in four of the last eight games. They have scored more than one goal in three of the last 10 matches and in terms of attack, Troy Deeney has been central, with three goals in the last four matches. Watford led at half time in four of their last 14 matches and have been great at home, winning seven of their last 10 matches there and suffering just one loss. They have failed to score in just one and kept three clean sheets in the last 10. In five of the last 10 home matches, the side has scored two goals or more and will be boosted by the fact they head here on two straight wins over Norwich.
On the other hand, Norwich are coming from a 2-0 win over Cardiff City, which was the team’s fifth straight win, and having scored two goals in each of the five. It has been a good run in the past few matches but Norwich will need to beef up defensively having kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches. Six of the last eight games have also produced over 2.5 goals and in the last 16 matches, they have 12 wins and just a loss. Emiliano Buendia scored and assisted in the last game and his role has been very clear in supporting Teemu Pukki. The two have scored three goals each in the last four matches. The two forwards are a major reason Norwich have scored in each of the last 10 matches and only failed to score in one of the last 16. Away from home, it has been great in terms of wins, but there is still a defensive issue to be addressed. While Norwich have won six and lost one away game in the last eight, they have conceded in eight of their last nine away matches. they have the joint poorest defence among the top six teams, having conceded 18 goals already. Teemu Pukki will like the challenge in this game, having scored six goals in the last five away matches and will hope to guide his side, with the two teams having won three matches apiece in the last six meetings.

Our Watford vs Norwich Prediction
Watford have not been as good as Norwich ahead of their meeting this Saturday. They have failed to score in half of their last eight matches but are great at home. Meanwhile, Norwich have not been good defensively, especially away from home but they have scored consistently, which has given them a good away win rate. Ahead of this game, Norwich have scored twice in each of their last five, but have just one clean sheet in eight and six of the eight have ended in over 2.5 goals. We still expect this to end in over 2.5 goals, as we are backing both sides to score and a Norwich win.
