Norwich come into this clash with renewed confidence after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Charlton, but given Watford's recent signs of improvement, a 2-2 draw is on the cards at Carrow Road. The Canaries’ home profile remains solid: they score 1.60 goals per match, concede just 1.00, and produce 1.58 expected goals on average. However, they continue to struggle for defensive consistency overall, with BTTS landing in 90% of their league fixtures. Squad depth is still stretched, as Schlupp, Topic, Sargent, Crnac, and Diallo remain sidelined, though there are no new injury concerns.
Watford, on the other hand, are high on confidence following a 2-1 victory over Leicester, extending their unbeaten streak to five matches. Their attacking numbers are strong, especially away from home, where they average 1.80 goals per game and have scored in every away outing. BTTS also hits 100% in their away matches, while their xG (1.17) shows efficiency in front of goal. The Hornets will, however, miss key midfielders Doumbia and Kayembe, both away on international duty.
As both teams have a 90–100% BTTS trend, this betting option should definitely be considered. Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals also seem appealing.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
