Norwich City form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Norwich City at their home stadium (Carrow Road) is 8 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats.

Norwich travelled for their previous game, a trip to Queens Park Rangers that ended 1-1. Idah was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Queens Park Rangers after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? The talented striker Idah bested all the other footballers in that match and managed a match rating of 7.6 out of 10. Idah scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Middlesbrough.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Norwich City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 10 league matches, 8 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

Norwich City has scored 27 league goals at home this season, in 21 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 23 goals have been conceded.

Swansea City form and stats

As the visiting team in Championship matches, Swansea City have produced an overall stat of 6-7-8 so far. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Swansea, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Piroe (2), Darling and Allen scored in Swansea City's previous match, the home game against Preston North End that ended 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against Preston North End was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Piroe got a match rating of 9.33 in that game. Piroe scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Huddersfield Town.

We have checked recent matches where Swansea City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

Swansea have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 21 league away games 26 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Swansea City have seen the ball go into their own net 31 times on the road.
