Watford form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Watford are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Vicarage Road, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Manchester United game.

Heartbreak before that as Watford lost 1-4 at Leicester City's place.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Watford has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Watford with 22 goals conceded in these matches.
Norwich City form and stats
There's been little loot from Norwich City's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Norwich City only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Norwich City's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Norwich City won their last game, 2-1 versus Everton played at home. Idah, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.85. Idah scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.
Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting West Ham United's place.We have checked recent matches where Norwich City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, three draws and zero defeats.
