Norwich vs Watford Predictions & Betting Tips

Norwich vs Watford Predictions

Norwich host Watford on Monday afternoon at Carrow Road. Both teams came up with disappointing performances on Boxing Day, losing to Luton and Millwall respectively. Norwich’s 2-1 defeat to Luton was their third failure in the last four games, a streak that had Dean Smith sacked on the very following day. Up to this date, the Canaries are yet to announce the new permanent manager. They were led by assistant coach on Friday evening in the home fixture against Reading.

Match Preview & Team News

Watford changed their head coach back in late-September when they appointed Slaven Bilic. Since then, the team have managed to enter the promotional playoffs battle. They are currently fifth in the Championship standings despite losing the previous home match against Millwall (0-2). It was Watford’s maiden defeat in the previous five league outings. Slaven Bilic can generally be satisfied with how his team looked defensively in the last several weeks because the Hornets had been on a run of four consecutive clean sheets before the defeat to the Lions seven days ago. Read on our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

Norwich have had big issues with the lack of attacking creativity in the recent outings. They have thus scored one or fewer goals in four successive league games. This is not the form you want to see from a genuine promotional contender. Knowing they are now up against a stern defensive line of Watford’s, it is hard to expect a goal fest on Monday at Carrow Road. That said, each of the previous three head to head encounters between these two sides finished with at least three goals scored, including this season’s 2-1 victory for Watford in mid-October at Vicarage Road.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

The Under 2.5 goals FT pick is the way to go here at the 4/5 odds since both Norwich and Watford have been better defensively than offensively in the recent games.

Betting Preview

Dean Smith’s departure may cause a positive shock on Norwich’s bench but it is very hard to see the value in backing the hosts at the 11/10 odds. Instead, we will shoot for Watford at much more attractive 12/5 odds knowing they have been somewhat better in the last several weeks.
