Norwich City vs Manchester City: Picked Some Hot Bets

Norwich is back in the fight for survival and maneuvers between 17th and 18th place. The Canaries have a home game against Manchester City on the line. Will we see a sensation, or will Pep Guardiola's charges take another easy three points?

Norwich did not lose even once in the last three rounds, winning over Everton and Watford. In addition, the Canaries beat Wolverhampton in the FA Cup. Previous week Norwich played out a draw with Crystal Palace (1:1). Wilfried Zaha answered Teemu Pukki's first-minute goal in the 60th minute. Oddly enough, after that draw, Norwich slipped back into the relegation zone. The survival area is one point away.

Manchester City recovered from the draw with Southampton with a 2:0 victory over Brentford. The Bees parked the bus, pressing hard. The result is 76% ball possession for the Citizens. A nine-point lead over Liverpool was maintained, but the Reds had one game left to play.

• Man City has won 13 of their last 14 matches.
• Manchester has scored nil in six of their last eight encounters with Norwich.
• Man City's goalscoring totals are under 2.5 in their last three games.

We believe that Riyad Mahrez will score his fifth goal in four games. The Algerian distinguished himself by shooting in a recent match against Brentford. We also think that Man City, as the hegemon, will dominate on all flanks, including corners. As a result, we recommend the visiting team's handicap of 5.5.

Finally, we expect a productive game, especially in the second half, when the Canaries should open up more. We consider the total over two goals in the second half.
