An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 20th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Norwich City form and stats
Norwich City have collected 6 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-0-3. The Norwich City manager D. Farke might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
In their previous game, the manager D. Farke led his Norwich City to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Brighton & Hove Albion. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Carrow Road. Preceding that match was a defeat to Manchester United (1-3).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Norwich City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 1 Lost 3.
Norwich City can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 10 times. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Norwich City have allowed the opposition to score 14 goals here at Carrow Road.
Watford form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Watford, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Brighton & Hove Albion game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Watford failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Chelsea (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a Carabao Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Everton wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster had a great day against Chelsea, but despite making 8 saves the loss could not be avoided.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Watford playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 5 Watford wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Watford's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. Watford are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 5 - 2 - 3 (Norwich City wins - draws - Watford wins). As for goals, 7 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
