Stoke City - Norwich City predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Stoke City will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Norwich City.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Stoke on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Stoke City will be hoping to notch another win after recording a rather surprising Preston North End away win in the Championship. They held pretty well for the first 45 minutes and pushed an important step forward after the break to record a narrow victory which will be a huge boost for their Saturday fixture.

The previous Championship encounter could not have gotten much better for The Canaries who were heavily favoured to claim a victory anyway. They fully delivered as well, having taken an early lead and turned it into a 5:0 triumph.

The Canaries can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Norwich once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. Stoke have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.40.
