This Championship game is a meeting of two teams struggling near the bottom of the table. Norwich City sit 20th, with Watford right behind them in 21st. Their points are very close, and both need points from this match to pull away from the danger zone. Norwich City won 3-1 in their latest match, but before that they lost several in a row and completely fell out of form. Watford, meanwhile, lost 0-1 in their latest match and have lost four of their last five. Their defence has been leaking badly, especially in the games where they conceded 0-4 and 1-5, while in attack they have managed only 10 goals from 12 league matches. The pattern of play is likely to see Norwich City with more possession and pushing high up the pitch, because Watford have less of the ball and fewer shots on target over their last ten matches. If Norwich City can open up aggressively the way they did in the 3-1 win, the game should flow toward the home side creating chances continuously, and it tends to end with a clear margin.
