Watford vs Norwich City Prediction and Betting Tips | December 6th 2025

Watford will host Norwich City at Vicarage Road on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts have struggled to get results in recent weeks and will hope to return to winning ways against a side in much worse form.

Watford were outclassed when they took the trip to Birmingham City on Monday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat and have now dropped down to 15th place in the league table after 18 games. The Hornets have won only one of their last five games and only three of nine games under newly hired manager Javi Gracia, leaving them keen to pick up maximum points in front of their home fans and potentially finish the matchday in the top half.

Norwich City are eight places and 11 points behind Saturday's hosts, having endured an abysmal 13-game winless run leading to the firing of head coach Liam Manning last month. The Canaries’ 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers last time out marked their first win since August and will see the visitors keen to build momentum under their new boss, Phillipe Clement, when they make the trip to Watford.
