Norwich City vs Southampton: betting on the victory of the Saints

Norwich City will have a home match with Southampton. This game will be held within the 12th round of the Championship of England. Will Norwich manage to win for the first time under coach Dean Smith?

In the last match before the national teams’ games, Norwich City won the first victory in the English Premier League. In the 11th round, the Canaries unexpectedly turned out to be stronger than Brentford. This match ended with a score of 2:1. Despite this result, Norwich City, with its five points, still occupies the last position in the English championship standings. Before the break, the club’s management decided to part with Daniel Farke. Dean Smith, known for his work at Aston Villa, became the new head coach of Norwich.

After an embarrassing defeat by Chelsea in the League Cup, Southampton won twice in the Premier League. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s charges turned aside Watford in an away match and Aston Villa at home. In both games, the Saints edged behind (1:0). Over 11 matches, the club gained 14 points. At the moment, Southampton is in 13th place in the English Championship standings.

The last Norwich City-Southampton games took place in the 2019-20 Premier League season. In the first round, the Saints won over the opponent in their arena with a score of 2:1. In the second round, Southampton defeated the Canaries 3-0 in the away match. In all tournaments, the clubs played 87 joint matches. In terms of the number, Southampton gained the lead - 32:29.

• Norwich City was defeated nine times in their last ten home matches in the English Championship.
• In their last three matches, victory came to Southampton in all tournaments.
• Norwich City have missed at least two goals in six of its last seven matches in the English Championship.
• In the last three matches of Norwich City in the Premier League, a bet “total more than 2.5 goals” has worked.

Norwich City is having a very rough time after returning to the elite of the English season. Despite winning the last official match, the club’s management decided to give the sack to Daniel Farke and designate Dean Smith to the post of head coach. Southampton earned some points after troubles at the start of the Premier League. The Saints have scored ten points in the last four matches, which is one of the best results among the representatives of the Premier League.

In the last games with Norwich, Southampton showed a good result - three victories. I think Southampton will be able to extend their winning streak in the upcoming match. It will not be easy for Norwich to fight against the Hasenhüttl well-conditioned players. I suggest considering the following betting options:

• W2 for 2.1
• Total Over (2.5) for 1.95
• Individual Total 2 Over (1.5) for 2.1
