Norwich City form and stats

35 points is a decent return from 16 Championship games here at Carrow Road for Norwich City. The data says 10 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. In general it's been a long time since Norwich City tasted defeat here at Carrow Road, as they have taken at least one point from their last 14 home games in the league. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.

Norwich City enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Wycombe Wanderers's place. The match ended 2-0 with Adam Idah and Teemu Pukki scoring. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Birmingham City.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Norwich City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Norwich as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Luton Town are visiting.

The Norwich fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Norwich have conceded only 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Brentford form and stats

Playing away, Brentford, who have the most scored goals (61) in Championship, have won 8 games, drawn 4 and suffered 4 defeats in the Championship this season.

Brentford are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Championship against Stoke City (placed 10th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brentford playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Brentford win, three draws and one defeat.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Rotherham United in just three days.
