England Premier League
Saturday 12th February 2022
Kick off at 5:30pm GMT
Venue: Carrow Road
Match Preview:
Norwich will obviously be the underdogs to win this game but we should expect them to give it a good go and try and frustrate their opponents.
The club are trying their best to survive this season but it is obvious that they will be in a relegation fight right up until the end of the season, but there have been some encouraging signs so far. At home for the Canaries the majority of their games have ended in defeat and they are conceding almost 2 goals per game. The worry also is their lack of goals in front of their home fans with just seven goals scored so far.
Norwich could be relegated and on the flipside to that are Manchester City who could be the champions once again. The gulf between the sides is obviously huge and City will be raring to go in this game and try and get the win quickly as they have some important Champions League matches coming up soon.
From a possible 36 points away from home Manchester City have 29 and they currently have the best away record in the Premier League. They are scoring on average 2 goals per game and along with Chelsea and Wolves they have conceded the least amount on the road.
Team News:
Norwich: Tim Krul is out until the end of the month with his on going shoulder injury. Christoph Zimmermann has a lack of match fitness after being out long term and will be assessed.
Manchester City: Cole Palmer has a muscle injury thought it is not quite clear how serious the issue is. Apart from that City have a clean bill of health ahead of this game.
Norwich vs Man City Head to Head:
In last two meetings Manchester City have scored 10 goals against Norwich winning each game 5-0. Although on both occasions City were at home.
The last time the teams played at Norwich the home side won 3-2 in a thriller.
There is a 60% chance to see over 3.5 goals.
Norwich vs Man City Prediction:
For this game one is reminded of when Manchester United visited Carrow Road. Yes United do not have the strengths of City but at the same time many were expecting and with Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch for United to score quite a few goals and win the game easily. In the end United were lucky to win 1-0. Norwich are a plucky side when they have to be and unless City score early we believe that the Canaries have the ability to frustrate their opponents and that is why a good value choice here could be to back the home side to win on the handicap. City will be odds on to the point where there will be no value to be had.
Norwich of course did win here last time the teams played and scored 3 goals, but that was almost 3 years ago. This City team are even stronger than then and we expect City to ease to victory but that doesn’t mean it will be by a big margin. Jack Grealish is due a goal and he has scored against Norwich this season so we will back him to get on the score sheet at good odds.
Norwich vs Man City Betting Tips:
Asian handicap (+2.5 Norwich) at 1.70
Anytime goalscorer: Jack Grealish at 2.20
