This could be an interesting match as Brentford have their presumed home advantage while Norwich City are ahead 3 points in the Championship table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Brentford and Norwich City.
Brentford form and stats
Brentford must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Championship games here at Griffin Park.
The fans are hoping that Brentford will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Championship game against Stoke City (placed 8th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Sheffield Wednesday and winning 2-1.
The manager T. Frank will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Luton Town in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Brentford's attacking play is working. 4 goals have been conceded.
Norwich City form and stats
Norwich City have six points from their first three away games in the Championship, meaning two victories and a loss.
Norwich won their last game, 2-1 versus Wycombe Wanderers played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Birmingham City.
Norwich made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Adam Idah receiving a red card in the 90th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Norwich City won the match 2-1! Mario Vrančić came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Wycombe Wanderers last time out, making the manager D. Farke feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Mario Vrančić scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Wycombe Wanderers.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Norwich City manager D. Farke as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bristol City.
Norwich City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Norwich as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
