Norwich vs. Watford Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Norwich vs. Watford

In their second attempt to secure promotion back to the Premier League, Norwich City and Watford are set to clash at Carrow Road on Tuesday night, intensifying the Championship playoff race.

Norwich City secured a draw at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon, while Watford continued their concerning run of form against second-tier leaders Leicester City on the same day.

After their FA Cup defeat to Premier League contenders Liverpool in January, Norwich City has impressively resumed their second-tier campaign. Securing four points from encounters with Mark Robins’s Coventry City and Marti Cifuentes’s relegation-threatened QPR, the Canaries showcased their resilience.

Kenny McLean and USA international Joshua Sargent’s goals on either side of halftime overturned Jack Colback’s opener, giving Norwich a second-half lead at Loftus Road. However, a late equalizer orchestrated by January arrivals Lucas Andersen and Michael Frey denied the Canaries a full three points.

With just one loss in their last six Championship matches, David Wagner’s team remains in contention for the playoffs, currently sitting in ninth position, trailing the sixth-placed Sky Blues by two points. Their recent victory against Coventry City attests to their competitive spirit as the season heads toward its conclusion.

What to remember – Norwich vs. Watford

Aside from challenging visits to Anfield and Leeds United’s Elland Road, Norwich has shown good form recently and appears confident in sustaining their playoff push on Tuesday.
