Watford welcome Norwich City to Vicarage Road for a midweek Championship fixture with both teams currently in the bottom half of the table. The Hornets have done some good work in front of their fans lately and should have the upper hand over Norwich, who have been unconvincing on their travels.
Watford head onto Tuesday’s clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Championship leaders Leicester City last time out in the Championship. They were second best throughout the encounter and could only muster a single attempt on target.
That was the first defeat in seven matches for Watford, who had been building some momentum prior to the international break. They had been victorious three times in that run and will be keen to return to winning ways on Tuesday.
Vicarage Road has been a solid hunting ground for Watford, who are unbeaten in their last three home matches. Valentin Ismael’s men have picked up two wins in that run, including a 5-0 victory over Rotherham United in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Norwich City were victorious in their previous Championship fixture as they triumphed 1-0 over QPR. Hwang Ui-Jo struck the only goal midway through the first half and they put up a solid defensive display to hold out for the win.
That was the second straight win for Norwich City, who are attempting to build some momentum. David Wagner’s men are currently 13th on the standings but could move into the top half if results go their way in midweek.
A slight problem for Norwich City ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Vicarage Road is a poor record on their travels as they are winless in six of their last seven away matches across all competitions. They have suffered five defeats in that run, although their only win came in their previous fixture on the road, a 3-2 victory at Cardiff City.
How the bookies view it
Watford are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 11/10 with Betfred. A victory for Norwich City is valued at 13/5 by bet365 while a draw is set at odds of 5/2 by BoyleSports.
Recent head to head
Watford have been dominant in recent matches against Norwich City, claiming seven wins in the last eight meetings. The Hornets did the double last season, winning 2-1 at Vicarage Road before claiming a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in January.
Players to watch
Mileta Rajovic has caught the eye for Watford this season and will be looking to add to his six Championship goals. The forward has scored three times in the last two home matches and is priced at 8/5 by bet365 to maintain his scoring run.
Hwang Ui-Jo could be worth keeping an eye on for Norwich City having scored in two of the last four Championship matches. The attacker grabbed the only goal in the win over QPR and is priced at 3/1 by bet365 to find the net on Tuesday.
Anything else catch the eye?
Norwich City have seen over 3.5 goals in three of their last four matches and a repeat is priced at 2/1 with Paddy Power. Over 2.5 goals could also be considered at 3/4 by bet365 while William Hill is offering odds of 8/13 on both teams to score.
There have been second half goals for both teams in three of Norwich City’s last four matches and a similar pattern could be on the cards at 3/1 with BoyleSports.
