Norwich City - Cardiff City predictions

The online bookies marked Norwich City as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Cardiff City winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Cardiff seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.07, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The previous round of the Championship saw The Canaries completely dominate Watford, right here at the Carrow Road. The matchup was relatively balanced, and the 2.17 largely attributed to Norwich City’s home-field advantage. However, they grabbed an early lead and only increased the gap as the match progressed, eventually recording a 4:2 triumph.

Although The Bluebirds’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 2:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents West Bromwich Albion, who spent the entire match ahead.

Norwich City are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 8 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Saturday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Cardiff have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

According to the recent head-to-head records, The Canaries already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.93 odds on a home win.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.93 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
