Norwich vs Watford Predicted Line-ups, Betting Tips and Predictions

Norwich vs Watford predicted line-ups, match preview, betting tips and predictions for the Friday Night Football from the Premier League this week. Watford are bottom of the Premier League and manager Quique Sanchez Flores will know his team need to improve and fast. Norwich made a decent start to the season but they have been in freefall of late – Pukki’s goals have dried up and they’ve only picked up one point from their last six matches now. Their last win was that shock victory over Manchester City back in September. Can they improve and get three points in this must-win match?  

Norwich vs Watford Predicted Line-ups

Going into this Friday Night Football fixture, these sides make up the bottom two places in the Premier League table. Norwich are 19th on seven points and Watford 20th on five points. With Watford having already changed their manager this season and no improvements in results, is it time for Quique Sanchez Flores to change his starting line-up around and try to improve the results? Being away from home, he must decide whether to go for the win or sit back and hit Norwich on the break. The Canaries play an attacking style of football but their big problem recently has been that star striker Teemu Pukki has forgotten where the net is. Without his goals, it is hard to see Norwich City surviving in the Premier League this season – it’s that simple.  

Norwich City Predicted Line-up vs Watford

For Norwich, manager Daniel Farke changes his style and personal a lot so it is hard to predict their starting line-up from game to game. Their last home match against Manchester United was a line-up similar to this, however, a few changes were made for the defeat against Brighton which resulted in a 2-0 defeat. Midfielder Mario Vrancic could go back into the Norwich starting 11 after recovering from illness and Stiepermann could keep his place following his start against Brighton, although he was substituted with 15 minutes left. Upfront, Pukki will start the match as he looks to end his goal drought and he won’t get a much better chance than against this struggling Watford side.  

Watford Predicted Line-up vs Norwich

Manager Sanchez Flores has a decision to make in this game – take the match to Norwich and try and beat them in the goalscoring stakes, or sit back and hope to use the pace of Deulofeu on the break. The Spaniard scored from the penalty spot against Chelsea last time out and could get another chance of playing through the middle with Andre Gray in this game. Elsewhere, Tom Cleverley will hope to be fit enough to start after missing their last few matches. Watofrd have quite a few players out injured for the match including Danny Welbeck and Troy Deeney up front. It is likely to be three at the back for Watford again this week, a formation that doesn’t seem to be working for them but the manager is insisting on sticking with. It remains to be seen if he can turn their fortunes around playing this way.  

Norwich vs Watford Prediction

After gaining promotion last season, Norwich looked to have settled straight back into Premier League life, but since beating Manchester City they’ve only scored two Premier League goals. They won’t get a better chance to put this right though and this match looks perfectly set up for a both teams to score prediction. Watford are struggling for goals themselves but Norwich’s awful defence should give them chances and in Andre Gray and Gerard Deulofeu, they certainly have players in their line-up who can trouble defences. Unfortunately, the odds for both teams to score are very short at 1/2, so instead bet on Norwich to finally get another win under their belt with our Norwich vs Watford prediction of Norwich to win and BTTS.

Correct Score Prediction

It looks like this could be a tight affair but I am predicting that goals will be scored at both ends, if Pukki can break is duck you get the feeling that a few more goals might follow in the coming weeks and so I’m going for a 2-1 Norwich victory in this Premier League fixture on Friday. If you look at the best odds currently available for this match, a 2-1 Norwich win is best odds 10.1 with bet365 (subject to change). [inline_advert ad=”2″]
