Watford - Norwich City betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Norwich City are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Watford should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The away team’s chances of winning this Friday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with The Hornets, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The previous round was fairly uneventful for both The Hornets and Burnley , the opposing home team. Considering an away win was priced at 2.43 with most top online bookies, however, a : draw is a positive result for The Hornets.

The Canaries are bursting with confidence after their latest Premier League home victory. Despite being tagged clear underdogs in the matchup against Everton, they were ahead at both half time and the final whistle.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Hornets have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Canaries’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

With just 1 point between them and the relegation zone, the hosts will want to be careful with rough matchups such as this one. We’re too early in the season to call their situation bad, but moving up the table will be a challenge.

Norwich City will need to make a hard turn to avoid disaster this season, and they’ll need to do it soon. Though there’s a good chunk of the season still ahead of them, the upcoming matchups are not exactly favourable.

Watford already have a victory over Norwich on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premier League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Ismaila Sarr, Kwadwo Baah, Nicolas N'Koulou will have to sit this one out, while Norwich will have to make do without Andrew Omobamidele, Lukas Rupp, Mathias Normann.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.98 odds offered at Betsson.
