With first-team coach Narcis Pelach off to Stoke City it is to be seen what cost that leaves behind. Johannes Hoff Thorup may count on Pelach as his future trainer if he could not do the trick to lighten up Norwich's season, which has only won one of the first five league matches. The team even fails to draw against teams like Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United. Their last match was also a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City, which marked their third goalless game out of seven games this season. Throughout the last five games, though, Norwich has allowed just six goals. However, Thorup knows his side must score more since they scored only four times themselves.
Norwich City Predicted Lineup
Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Chrisene; Nunez, McLean; Crnac, Forson, Sainz; Sargent
Watford form
Watford started the Championship season with successive three wins, but it couldn't consolidate this. However, it collected ten points from five games played. A 1-1 draw against Coventry City maintained Watford's position in top six. The team faces Sunderland in next match as well, Sunderland is also in hot form. Therefore, Cleverley feels that a win against that team would be more crucial.
Watford Predicted Lineup
Bachmann; Porteous, Sierralta, Pollock; Ebosele, Dele-Bashiru, Sissoko, Larouci; Kayembe, Bayo, Sema
Norwich City vs Watford Expert Betting Tip
One change Norwich could make is to add Liam Gibbs in midfield, but forward Ante Crnac will also be eligible to play on Saturday. Crnac may come in for Oscar Schwartau on the right flank after Jacob Sorensen, Christian Fassnacht, and Ashley Barnes are out through injury. Giorgi Chakvetadze misses out with a back issue and will be replaced at least by Ken Sema and Daniel Jebbison for starting positions upfront. Rocco Vata could also come into use, as coach Cleverley feels whatever the team needs. Festy Ebosele is tipped to make his first start since joining from Udinese. Both teams will have an interest in winning this game but at such a point of the season, and we think they will do this in a low-scoring draw in East Anglia, but more potential benefit from this to Watford than to Norwich.
