- Watford has secured 6 victories.
- Norwich City has claimed 4 wins.
- There have been 1 draw.
Recent results show a mixed bag, with both teams picking up wins. Watford won their last home fixture against Norwich 3-2 in November 2023. However, Norwich did manage a 1-0 away win at Vicarage Road in February 2025. Goal-scoring has often been a feature, with several matches seeing three or more goals.
Our Prediction
Considering Norwich City’s dire league form and their position deep in the relegation zone, coupled with Watford’s mid-table stability and home advantage, we anticipate the Hornets will seize this opportunity to secure three points. Norwich’s defensive vulnerabilities (28 goals conceded in 17 games) will be a target for Watford’s attack.
Our betting tip for this Championship clash is for a Watford victory.
