Expert Betting Tips

Bristol will be hoping to steal a playoff spot in this clash, with only two points separating them from 6th placed Coventry. The Robins have been a decent side, having lost just one of their last 10 games in all competitions. On the other hand, Norwich have managed just two wins in their last 14 games on the road. So, I think the hosts will get the win in this clash. Elsewhere, I don’t expect lots of goals in this because four of the last five games between both sides have seen less than three goals scored.

Our prediction for this match is to see less than three goals for odds of 1.86 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is for Bristol to win at odds of 2.05 at Bet365.
