Norwich City have had trouble finding points this league season. Can the team get something to cheer about when Manchester City visit Carrow Road?
- Norwich City have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premier League
- Manchester City have the fewest conceded goals (14) in Premier League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Norwich City form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Norwich City are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Norwich drew their last game, also a home match. Crystal Palace (placed 13th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Norwich City here at Carrow Road in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 12 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Norwich City defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Norwich hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Leeds United, Brentford, Everton, Newcastle United, Watford and Burnley), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City collect 29 points from their 12 away matches in the Premier League. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). In general it has been a productive period now for Manchester City as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games.
Bruyne and Mahrez scored in City's previous match, the home game against Brentford that ended 2-0. Cancelo was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.63. The defender Cancelo won 10 of 13 duels.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Manchester City given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 16 matches with 15 wins as expected, one draw and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won eleven of these games by at least two goals.
The schedule is very tough for Manchester City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Sporting CP is waiting in only three days.
The travelling fans enjoy City's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 12 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
Head 2 Head
Manchester City - Norwich City 5-0 was the result in these participants' previous head-to-head match, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Norwich victories, two draws and six Manchester City wins.
