Both Norwich City and Watford will look to return to winning ways when they meet at Carrow Road on Monday in the Championship.
Fifth-placed Watford and seventh-placed Norwich still have got every chance of finishing in the play-offs, but both sides are out of form as they prepare to meet in Norfolk.
Managerless City were held to a 1-1 draw by Reading on Friday, while Swansea City thumped the Hornets 4-0 at the Liberty Stadium.
Norwich vs Watford Betting Tips
- Draw @ 5/2
- Correct score 1-1 @ 6/1
Norwich are 19/20 favourites for Monday's game thanks to having home advantage, but they are without a win in three at Carrow Road. The Canaries have only won one of their previous five in front of their own supporters.
The draw is priced at 5/2, while the visitors are considered 11/4 outsiders after their heavy defeat to the Swans.
The Hornets have not lost their last two in the Championship, but they have yet to lose three in a row in the second tier this season.
Team news
Interim Norwich bosses Steve Weaver and Allan Russell handed Adam Idah a start on Friday and he rewarded them with a goal in the 1-1 draw against Reading.
His performance should be enough to justify another spot in the starting XI, while Todd Cantwell remains on the sidelines through injury.
Isaac Hayden is pushing for a recall, while Watford boss Slaven Bilic will no doubt make changes after his team's dismal result against Swansea last time out.
Both Francisco Sierralta and Vakoun Issouf will hope for rare starts in the Watford XI, while Hamza Choudhury and Joao Pedro remain on the sidelines through injury.
Hassane Kamara will also sit out Monday's clash as he is suspended after his sending-off against Millwall.
Latest Norwich vs Watford Betfred Odds
Draw @ 5/2
The form of both teams has not been good enough and Norwich's recent poor run cost now former boss Dean Smith his job.
With no new permanent figure at the helm, Norwich's interim coaches are just trying to man the fort until a new man enters the dugout, and they will be doing all they can to ensure their side do not lose.
Norwich have lost two of their last five at home, while Watford have a decent record on their travels, winning three in five.
We expect both teams to cancel each other out as they try to get back to their best.
Correct score 1-1 @ 6/1
While we expect a draw at Carrow Road, that does not mean both teams will not find the back of the net.
Norwich have only failed to score in three of their last 10 on home soil, while Watford have found the back of the net on five occasions in as many matches on their travels.
Both teams have scored in two of the last three meetings between the pair, so we should be in for a close game on Monday.
