Norwich U18 form and stats
Overall Premier League U18 stats at home this season for Norwich U18 are 4-2-4 (wins-draw-losses).
Opportunity lost for Norwich U18 in the West Ham U18 match as a lead 3-1 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Norwich are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Lotus Training Center in their league games, having scored an impressive 25 goals in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
Reading U18 form and stats
There's been little loot from Reading U18's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Premier League U18. Reading U18 only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give Reading much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Norwich U18 will be a tough nut to crack. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Reading U18 are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Reading lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Reading are regular goalscorers on their travels. There are big problems for the Reading defense as they have conceded 29 goals in 9 away games.
