Our prediction for this Championship match:
Norwich City will be looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 loss to Swansea when they take on Watford at their Carrow Road. Despite that setback, the Canaries have been strong up front this season, and with 11 goals scored in their last two meetings with Watford, fans can expect another high-scoring contest. However, David Wagner’s side will have to navigate this fixture without the likes of Jakob Sorensen, Christian Fassnacht, and Ashley Barnes due to injuries.
Watford, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a 1-1 draw with Coventry City. The Hornets have shown resilience but need to keep on making progress if they are to push for a top-six spot. Injuries to midfielders Imran Louza and Giorgi Chakvetadze are setbacks for Valerien Ismael’s side, but they still possess enough quality to trouble Norwich’s defence. Given the attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities of both teams, the prediction is for both teams to score in what should be an exciting Championship clash.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
