Norwich vs Stoke Prediction

Norwich Form

Norwich are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Huddersfield by 0-4, before beating Bristol City by 0-1. The winning streak came to an end against Rotherham, who ran out 2-1 winners. Norwich claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew one and lost three, scored five goals and conceded seven.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Norwich a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Stoke Form

In their previous three outings, Stoke lost 1-0 against Millwall, beat Rotherham 6-1 and lost 0-2 against Preston. Stoke claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by six goals to five.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Norwich look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Norwich get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Stoke.

Norwich enjoy a record of three wins, one draw and one defeat in the Championship this season. Stoke put two wins, zero draws and three defeats on the board in the Championship.
