Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Norwich and Watford fans should get a chance to celebrate as their teams go head-to-head, with a match prediction of both teams to score looking a far more convincing pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two sides have plenty in attack, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
