Venue: Carrow Road (27244 seats)

Important clash in the "wrong" end of the Premier League, with both Norwich City and Brentford enduring more angst than happiness. This game is a typical "six-pointer" with the hosting team positioned 20th and the away team in 15th place.

Insights:
  • Norwich City have the fewest scored goals (15) in Premier League
  • Brentford have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are busy days for the team playing at home, as they played only three days ago in the FA Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Liverpool.

Norwich City form and stats

Norwich City's struggle is real here at Carrow Road with only 9 points collected from 13 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-8. Norwich City has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Smith and the players.

Gibson, defender, was given a rating of 7.34/10 in that game, top of the team. Gibson won 2 of 3 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Norwich City lost 0-2 at Southampton's place.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Norwich here at Carrow Road in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 13 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.

Brentford form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brentford so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-7 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Brentford as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Leeds United match.

The manager Frank was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Brentford Community Stadium. Brentford suffered a 0-2 loss to Newcastle United (placed 14th).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Arsenal's place.

Brentford have conceded 25 goals in these games. When Brentford is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Leeds United, Brentford, Everton, Newcastle United, Watford and Burnley.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the squads faced each other earlier this season; Brentford - Norwich 1-2. Norwich City-Brentford H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Norwich City five wins, Brentford two wins, three draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
