Norwich vs Watford

Match preview

Carrow Road plays host to a nervous relegation six-pointer as Norwich welcome Watford. The hosts sit twentieth in the Championship, desperately needing to halt a slide that has brought four defeats from their last five outings. Home comforts have been hard to come by lately, with four losses from six matches on their own turf compounding a difficult opening quarter of the campaign.

Watford arrive sitting directly below their hosts in twenty-first place, separated by just a single point after twelve fixtures. The visitors have endured an equally dismal run, suffering four losses in their last five league games, and their dreadful travels offer little reassurance. Having failed to win a single match away from home so far, claiming only one draw alongside five defeats on the road, this trip represents a formidable test of resolve.

Previous encounters between these two sides suggest a tightly balanced affair. Watford edged the most recent meeting here by a single goal, though last season also produced a five-goal thriller and an away win for Norwich. Both clubs urgently require a catalyst to spark their respective seasons into life.
