The visiting West Ham U18 side should be favourites in this visit to Norwich U18, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 16 league games this season.

Norwich U18 form and stats
Norwich U18's struggle is real here at Colney Training Centre with only 5 points collected from 8 Premier League U18 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-5-3. With eight home Premier League U18 games in a row without a win, the Norwich U18 fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fulham U18 game long ago, can be stopped today. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Norwich U18 has five draws from their last five matches.
Norwich U18 manager P. Williams and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Aston Villa U18 (placed 7th) in the Premier League U18. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Arsenal U18.
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? The hometeam coach P. Williams made a successful contribution in the game against Aston Villa U18, bringing on T. Dickson-Peters who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
Goals decide football matches and Norwich U18 are scoring many of them at home; 16 on target from 8 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Norwich U18 having conceded 24 goals here at Colney Training Centre so far. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Norwich U18 have let the opposition score 24 times, an average of more than three per game.
West Ham U18 form and stats
West Ham U18's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed West Ham U18, who have the most scored goals (31) away in Premier League U18, collect 16 points from their 8 away matches in the Premier League U18. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).

Before that one, a nice away victory 5-1 at Arsenal U18.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as West Ham U18 alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (31 from 8 played). West Ham U18 have conceded 18 goals in these games.
