Norwich City - Sunderland betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.86, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Sunderland who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The home side is coming off from a morale-boosting away win in the last Championship round. After a stalemate in the first 45 minutes, Norwich City rose to the occasion to beat the odds (2.88) and record an important Millwall victory.

Sunderland’s experienced quite a beating in their previous Championship appearance. Fans came to their home stadium expecting them to at least put up a decent fight against Stoke City, but they couldn’t recover from a poor first half. The final score was a crushing 1:5.

Norwich have managed to bag 8 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Carrow Road are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Sunderland’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 9 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The Canaries clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Sunderland, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 4.30 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
