Norwich City - West Bromwich Albion predictions

Though Norwich City definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. West Bromwich Albion are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Norwich City on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Their previous Championship match will have been a big boost to Norwich City’s morale. Playing at the difficult match and emerging with a Hull City HF/FT win promises hosts will be extremely confident heading into the Saturday match.

The Baggies are coming on the back of a 4:1 victory in their most recent Championship game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Blackburn Rovers was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, Norwich is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so WBA will need to be careful.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

A quick look at the season’s match history tells us that The Baggies won the last time these two squads clashed. It’s easy to see why most bookies online expect them to come out on top again, even if said victory was a narrow home win.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The William Hill sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.91, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
