Norwich City form and stats

Norwich participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 5th round.

5 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Norwich City have to build on here at Carrow Road in the Championship.

Norwich City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Watford. Midfielder Sara was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.64 (out of ten) in that game. Sara hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Championship home game that ended 1-1 versus Reading.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Norwich City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. Norwich's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
