📊 Form Guide
Norwich City
LWDWWD
Norwich City prepare for this game following a 1-1 Championship drawn game against Blackburn Rovers.
It has been all too rare in recent games that Norwich City have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Norwich City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 12 goals on the way. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on in this game.
Pre-game facts show that Norwich City:
- have left without a victory over Sunderland in their last 2 league matches.
- are unbeaten in their previous 9 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.
Sunderland
WDWLLL 📉
After a losing effort in their last game against Swansea City in Championship action, Sunderland and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The stats tell the story, and Sunderland have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals in all. At the back, Sunderland seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Sunderland:
- have not lost to Norwich City when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
- have not won away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.
↔️ Head to head
A glance at their prior head to head meetings dating back to 16/04/2016 shows us that Norwich City have won 1 of these games and Sunderland 4, with the number of drawn results standing at 1.
A combined sum of 15 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 for The Canaries and 11 for The Black Cats. That’s an average goals per game of 2.5.
The previous league game featuring these sides was Championship match day 14 on 28/10/2023 and the score finished Sunderland 3-1 Norwich City.
On that day, Sunderland had 63% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Goals were scored by Trai Hume (37'), Dan Neil (45') and Jack Clarke (80').
For their opponents, Norwich City had 9 shots at goal with 2 on target. Ui-jo Hwang (23') was the scorer.
The referee was Anthony Backhouse.
📰 Team News: Norwich City
The Norwich City boss David Wagner has zero fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match owing to a completely healthy group to pick from.
We think that The Canaries may well go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Angus Gunn, Jack Stacey, Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Dimitris Giannoulis, Marcelino Núñez, Kenny McLean, Christian Fassnacht, Gabriel Sara, Borja Sainz and Josh Sargent.
🗞️ Team News: Sunderland
Sunderland boss Mike Dodds has to currently contend with reduced team options. Elliot Embleton (Torn thigh muscle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament injury) and Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) won’t be making appearances.
It’s our belief that The Black Cats will likely utilise a 3-4-2-1 system, going with Anthony Patterson, Jenson Seelt, Luke O'Nien, Daniel Ballard, Trai Hume, Pierre Ekwah, Dan Neil, Callum Styles, Jobe Bellingham, Abdoullah Ba and Nazariy Rusyn.
💭 Prediction
We feel that Sunderland will really need to work well to score goals against this Norwich City outfit who we think might well emerge victorious.
Our tip is therefore for a narrow 1-0 win for Norwich City after 90 minutes.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
