I'm backing both teams to score when Norwich host Watford on 31 October 2026 at 15:30. Norwich sit 20th with 12 points after 12 rounds, while Watford are 21st with 11 points. Both sides have defensive problems that I expect to exploit each other. Norwich have conceded in 15 consecutive matches across all competitions. Watford have conceded first in 8 of their last 9 games. I see this as a recipe for goals at both ends, not a tight defensive battle.
