Norwich City - Middlesbrough predictions

Though Norwich City are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against The Canaries on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Norwich City faced off against Portsmouth in the previous round. Most betting predictions favoured Portsmouth due to the home-field advantage, but the visitors did well to take an early lead in the first half and claw their way towards a hairpin victory (1:2).

Most online sportsbooks priced Middlesbrough’s victory at Millwall in the last round at around $ODDS_HOMEY_WIN_LAST_ROUND, marking them as hard underdogs. After an undecided first half, however, they went on to snag a resounding 0:3 away victory, surprising even the most ardent of their supporters.

Head-to-head records show a tied game between The Canaries and The Boro in the previous season. As the favourites, Norwich would not be happy with another draw and will want to snag the 3 points while they have the opportunity.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.91, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
