Watford Norwich City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match will be very open and frantic, as it opposes teams with very offensive game models. On one hand, and despite the irregular phase, Watford plays in their stadium, on the other, a Norwich that has several individual solutions in their squad. It should be noted that 60% of the away matches ended with more than two goals by the end of the 90’. That said, betting in favor of a game with several goals is the best option.

Preview
Watford and Norwich City meet at Vicarage Road, in a match for the 21th round of the Championship. There are only 2 recent head‑to‑heads between these two teams: on 07‑07‑2020, which ended in a (2‑1) win by Watford, and another on 08‑11‑2019, which ended in a (0‑2) win by Watford. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Watford

After 9 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 5th position, havinf won 34 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Huddersfield Town by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against Brentford. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Watford has a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 23 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 20 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Watford team comes to this match unmotivated as a result of the 2-0 defeat on the trip to Huddersfield, putting an end to the three straight matches without losing in this English second division. Usually the home team plays in 4-4-2 favoring defensive organization and counterattacks. However, in some moments of the matches, the team gives privilege to the long balls for the attack, mainly for the forward Troy Deeney. For this match the home team cannot count on Isaac Success, Tom Bele-Bashiru, Dimongos Quina and Craig Cathcart, players who are recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Francisco Sierralta, Jeremy Ngakia, Ben Wilmot, Kiko Femenía, Étienne Capoue, Ken Sema, Andre Gray, Ismaila Sarr.
Coach: T. Cleverley, T. Deeney, S. Bilić.

Analysis Norwich

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 43 points won, after 13 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Reading, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Cardiff City, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Norwich City has a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 22 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Norwich heads into this match with a 2-0 victory against Cardiff, making it the fifth successive victory in this competition: the team's goals were stamped by Todd Cantwell and Emiliano Buendía. In this match against Watford, the coach Daniel Farke will play in the usual tactical system, the 4-3-3, privileging the possession of the ball and the organized attacks, mainly through the runners: Mario Vrancic and Kenny McLean are the main players responsible for this process. Teemu Pukki remains Norwich's top scorer with 10 goals scored. Out of this match are Sam Byram, Kieran Dowell, Onel Hernandez, Bali Mumba, Adam Idah, Tim Krul and Xavi Quintilla, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael McGovern, Christoph Zimmermann, Grant Hanley, Jacob Lungi Sorensen, Kenny McLean, Emiliano Buendía, Kieran Dowell, Todd Cantwell, Max Aarons, Oliver Skipp, Teemu Pukki.
