Norwich City - Chelsea betting tips and odds

Norwich City are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 13.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Chelsea. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Any Result bet in this match other than Away Win would be quite optimistic indeed. The Blues seem to be on their way to a relatively easy victory, though we suppose a major slip-up is not out of the question. Don’t count on it, though.

The 1:3 result of last round’s match against Brentford at Carrow Road was fairly unsurprising. The Canaries went into the game as clear underdogs, fell behind in the first half, and proceeded to endure a crushing 1:3 defeat.

Betting predictions expected a lot from Chelsea going into their previous match against Burnley, but little came of it in the first half. The second half brought much-needed change, though, and they went on to bag a decisive 0:4 victory.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

The Canaries are in front of an important test this Thursday. The 13.00 odds on home win are not exactly promising but miracles do happen. That’s exactly what Norwich fans will be hoping for against Chelsea as their team continues to struggle.

The Blues are offered at 1.30 odds to record an important win in Carrow Road. Three points on Thursday would allow them to close the gap behind the league leaders and make an extra push in an effort to join the title chase.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with The Canaries they had. Chelsea pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 4.60 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
