Norwich vs Newcastle: the Magpies are Much Fancied Team

Prediction for the EPL Norwich City vs Newcastle United match, which will take place on April 23 17:00. Check the teams' condition! Several betting options are available.

Norwich have little or no prospect of playing next season. The team is bogged down in the relegation zone, currently being in last place with 21 points. They are eight points short of Everton's 17, which is an almost unrealistic figure for an outsider. In the last three games, the Canaries first gained a zero draw with Brighton, then beat Burnley by two goals, and finally lost 2:3 to the Manchester United.

Newcastle still have a theoretical chance of qualifying to the European Cup, but in reality it is almost impossible. The team needs to earn at least 13 points in the next seven games, including the game with Norwich, and to ensure that the superior teams (Brighton, Leicester, Wolverhampton and West Ham) do not score a single point. Sure, that sounds ridiculous. It should be noted that the Citizens now have a three-match winning streak, with a total score of 4:1. 

Definitely, the class of Newcastle players is markedly higher than that of Norwich players. This is evidenced by the difference in points earned in the current season of the English elite (40 vs. 21). However, in the first half of the season, the opponents had already met on the field in Newcastle, where they tied with a score of 1:1. In our opinion, the result may well repeat. Therefore we propose to play on the double chance for the second team, adding two goals. Prediction: X2.
