Norwich City - Sunderland predictions

Norwich City will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Sunderland don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.59 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Sunderland will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.90 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Despite the fact most bookmakers online saw Norwich as the favourites in their previous $LAGUE matchup, things didn’t go their way. They were already behind on halftime, and couldn’t recover in time to avoid the narrow 2:1 loss.

Sunderland must be feeling fairly confident after their performance in their latest Championship game. They were the away team in a very tough matchup against West Bromwich Albion but managed to grab a lead in the first half and turn it into a narrow, but praiseworthy 0:1 victory.

The hosts have had some decent successes lately. In terms of their records, they haven’t let a single Championship match go by for at least 7 rounds without scoring at least once.

The previous two Championship clashes Sunderland played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Sunderland 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.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.
