Plymouth vs Norwich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd September 2023

Struggling Plymouth are in for a tough assignment, when going up against Norwich on Saturday at Home Park. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Plymouth are placed 18 with seven points after seven matches. Norwich occupy a position as five in the league on 13 points.

With 5 defeats from their last 6 games, the situation at Plymouth could probably be a lot better. They need to improve their game or prepare for more disappointment as they face Norwich at home.

Plymouth scored 11 goals, conceded 18 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Norwich scored 16 goals, conceded 16 and kept their opponents from scoring two times in their last ten matches.

The last time these two teams squared up, Norwich ran out 1-0 winners which they surely won't mind doing again at Home Park.

Plymouth vs Norwich Prediction

Plymouth Form

Plymouth have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 3-0 victory against Blackburn. Unable to follow that up, they went down 2-1 against Preston, before handing over all three points in a 4-1 defeat against Bristol City. In their last six Championship home matches, Plymouth have two wins, while they've drawn zero and lost four. They scored eight and conceded nine goals.

Norwich Form

It is all or nothing with Norwich following one win in their previous three outings. They first went down 2-1 in an encounter with Rotherham to which, they replied by beating Stoke1-0. Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side, when they lost 0-2 against Leicester. In their last six Championship away matches, Norwich failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring 12 while also conceding 14 times.

We seriously doubt Plymouth, in current form, possess the abilities to shut down Norwich, making us aim for the away win as the best bet on Saturday.

Plymouth fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last one games against teams inside the top six. They were on target one times in these matches, but also let in two goals. Plymouth are looking at a record of two wins, one draw and four defeats in the Championship this season. Norwich put four wins, one draw and two defeats on the board in the Championship.
