Norwich go into this game after a win, the home game against Southampton U23 that ended 4-3.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Neilson when Hills scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Hills scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Southampton U23.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Norwich alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (22 from 7 played). Norwich have conceded 15 goals in these games.
