Norwich vs Watford preview
Norwich faces Watford with a 61% chance of winning according to our model, while the most likely scoreline is 2-1 at 10%. Norwich's expected goals stand at 2.22, significantly higher than Watford's 1.13, indicating a potential for a high-scoring match.
However, recent form shows Norwich has lost 5 of their last 6 matches, and Watford has also struggled, winning just 1 of their last 6. This inconsistency could impact the outcome, making it possible for the match to end differently than predicted. The model suggests a 65% chance for Over 2.5 goals and a 61% chance for both teams to score, but these probabilities can be affected by the teams' current performances.
