After the first game it's Southampton - Norwich City 3-3 in points. Who will prevail in this second Championship fixture of the season?

Southampton form and stats

Armstrong (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.33/10. Armstrong hit three key passes and had 38 successful passes (of 42 total).

Norwich City form and stats

Let's have a look at how Norwich City performed last season in the Championship: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 17 victories, 11 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 57 and conceded {54 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 30/27 goals scored/conceded.

Norwich City go into this game after a win, the home game against Hull City that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Wagner when Idah scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute. Midfielder Sara was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.05. Sara hit nine key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 60 successful passes (of 70 total).

A loss against Blackpool was the result prior to that, in a home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Norwich manager Wagner as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Queens Park Rangers.

Head 2 Head

Head to head totals (for the former ten meetings): Southampton won six games, one match ended with a tie and Norwich City have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
