Norwich City form and stats

In the previous season, Norwich City's league statistics were 5 wins, 7 draws and 26 losses, producing 20th place in the Premier League. In these 38 matches they scored 23 goals and gave away 84. Performing as the host team in the last season Norwich City produced 3-3-13 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 43 conceded.

No payout for Norwich City in their previous match, an away game at Cardiff City that ended in defeat 0-1. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through three league games. Midfield player Cantwell got a match rating of 7.1 in that game, the max score being 10. Cantwell hit three key passes.

Ahead of that match, Norwich lost 0-5 at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Norwich City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 4 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Norwich City, as the Carabao Cup home game vs Birmingham City is only three days away.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

Let's have a look at how Wigan Athletic performed last season in the League One: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 27 victories, 11 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 82 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 14 - drew 6 and lost 3 with 46/22 goals scored/conceded.

Wigan played 0-0 against Preston North End in their previous match. Midfield player McClean was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.33/10. McClean hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Shrewsbury Town at their stadium, the result 3-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Wigan Athletic manager Richardson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Fleetwood Town.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: four wins for Norwich City, four draws and two wins for Wigan Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
