Leeds United - Norwich City predictions

Leeds United are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Norwich City winning, though.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Leeds and the 5.80 odds given to Norwich to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

The Whites are coming off from a tight 1:2 loss against Southampton in the last round. Their form shows some issues in both the first and second halves of the game, and we’re eager to see if improvements have been made.

The visitors are coming on the back of a 1:0 away loss at Birmingham City. With most bookies pricing their victory at Birmingham City, the match can’t be called a disaster, either. After all, they managed to hold their ground for more than half the game’s runtime and only lost to a one-goal difference.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Norwich City are displaying a sort of consistency in their away games, though not necessarily in a good way. The past two ended with 1 or 0 goals between them and the opposition, for example.

The last time these two teams met The Peacocks managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Thursday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
