Norwich welcome Watford to Carrow Road on Saturday lunchtime for a Championship match. The Canaries are sat in 20th spot in the league ahead of the weekend while the Hornets are in 21st. Both teams have been poor this season but Watford’s terrible away record gives Norwich a big chance of three points.

Three points at Charlton last time out will have been a big relief to Norwich, ending a stretch of six straight defeats in all competitions. Those included losses at home in the league to Bolton, Southampton and Portsmouth.

Seven of their eight losses overall in the league have come by a single goal, including away at the top pair, Middlesbrough and Swansea. They are not getting blown out and the visit of a weak travelling side could be a big boost to their confidence. 

It has been an abject start to the season for Watford away from home. They have picked up a single point from six starts and have scored just two goals in the process. Both of those are the worst records in the Championship. 

Three of the five defeats have been 0-1, so they have at least been keeping things close, going under to West Brom, Bristol City and Wolves by that score. The sole point came at Wrexham back in August, their first away match of the season.

Our Norwich vs Watford Prediction

Neither one of these teams will be happy with their first quarter of the season, sat four and three points respectively outside of the relegation places. Norwich have not played quite as badly as their record suggests, bossing swathes of the game before losing to Southampton and only going under to Portsmouth to a penalty. Watford has the worst away record in the Championship and after a confidence-boosting win at Charlton last time out, this could be the right time for Norwich to play them. Our Norwich vs Watford prediction is Norwich win.
