Norwich City are still in the Championship relegation zone despite their Boxing Day win. The Canaries are 23rd in the table and welcome eighth-placed Watford to Carrow Road on Monday. Here's our match prediction.
Boxing Day saw Norwich beat Charlton Athletic 1-0 at home. Jovon Makama scored the winner and that was his fourth goal in their last three games. Norwich began this season with seven consecutive home league losses. They've since earned ten points from four on home soil.
They are still a point from safety though but are unbeaten in their last four league fixtures. Four of their last five home league games have seen both teams score. The reverse fixture against Watford was played on December 6 and saw the Hornets win 3-2.
Watford are only a point behind the final promotion play-off position. Boxing Day also went well for them with a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Leicester. That was only their second away league win of the season.
They have now only lost one of their last five away league games with both teams scoring in each fixture. Improving their form on the road will give them a great chance of making the play-offs.
We tip both teams to score in this game.
