Norwich City
- Carrow Road hosts a clash between two of the early season's better Championship sides when Norwich City welcome West Bromwich in an early season test of nerves and style.
- Philippe Clement has Norwich playing a brand of 'possession football' with a trigger-happy press and a variety of attacking shapes to mix up the opposition when they are on the ball.
West Bromwich
- James Morrison has gotten the Baggies playing a more organised, compact, and pragmatic style of football.
- They have conceded just three goals in six away matches across all competitions, while they have won six of their 10 games in a run that reads as a resounding 6-3-1.
- West Brom have been just as ruthless, dispatching Bromley 4-1, Shrewsbury Town 4-1 and Peterborough United 2-0 in a recent three-game stretch.
Head-to-Head
- Norwich have won three of the last five head-to-heads, with West Brom winning once and a draw making up the numbers.
- Norwich have won two of their last three home head-to-heads, which gives the hosts the edge in this fixture.
Key Players
Jimmy-Jay Morgan has been in top form recently, netting four of their 13 goals over the last five matches and looking like a player at the top of his game in the final third.
Betting Insights
- The Baggies' record of four wins, one draw and one defeat from six on the road across all competitions suggests this could be a dangerous away trip for Norwich, so we're going to keep this one on the closer side of things.
- An anytime goalscorer prediction for Jimmy-Jay Morgan could be a smart bet too.
- Both teams to score - Yes is our main prediction at 1.73, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.85 will be a side bet.
- Norwich have averaged 1.33 goals scored and 1.17 goals conceded at home across all competitions, which fits the script of an open game.
Prediction
While West Brom's recent form suggests they may be a good bet at 3.5 , our main selection will be on Norwich or draw in the double chance option.
