Norwich City

WDWLWL

Norwich City will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 0-2 Championship loss in their previous game against Stoke City.

In that match, Norwich City managed 52% possession and 7 shots at goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Stoke City got 14 shots at goal with 4 on target. Sam Gallagher (75') and Sorba Thomas (82') scored for Stoke City.

It has been seldom in recent games where Norwich City have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Norwich City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 6 goals along the way. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

Walsall

WDDWLL ⚖

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Cambridge United in League Two action, Walsall and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Ben Knight (45', 53') was the scorer for Cambridge United.

It is worth noting that Walsall have been starved of goals in their past 6 encounters, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those matches, The Saddlers have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 5.

↔️ Head to head

Delving into their past head to head results going back to 21/12/2002 reveals that these fixtures have been disappointments for Walsall. They have not been able to register any wins at all whereas Norwich City have dominated them, winning in 67% of those games played.

A combined sum of 15 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 12 of them from The Canaries and 3 for The Saddlers. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.5.

ℹ️ Team News: Norwich City

Ante Crnac (Cruciate ligament tear), Mirko Topić (Cruciate ligament tear), Amankwah Forson (unknown injury) and Papa Amadou Diallo (Muscle injury) will not be taking part for Norwich City boss Philippe Clement.

ℹ️ Team News: Walsall

Thanks to a mainly available group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Walsall gaffer Mat Sadler to contend with. Elicha Ahui (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

⚡ Prediction

Norwich City have it within them to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they face Walsall, who may well struggle getting goals.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 2-0 margin for Norwich City at the end of the 90 minutes.
