[Tips]:
Both teams suffered defeats at the start of the season in the league and are in poor form.

Watford F.C. signed quite a few strong new players during the off-season, but judging from their performance in the first round of the league, their offense is still not strong.

The team have suffered three consecutive defeats against Norwich City in the league in the past.

In the last 10 official matches, Watford F.C. have only achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, and their overall strength is not strong.

On the other hand, Norwich City have also strengthened their squad during the off-season, and their overall strength is relatively close to that of Watford F.C.

The AH line is not in favor of the home side enough.
