Norwich City returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Millwall in their last game. Emiliano Marcondes opened the scoring just 4 minutes into the game before Oscar Schwartau doubled the lead in the 39th minute. However, they conceded in the 65th minute, but they managed to claim the win. The win was their first after they had gone four games without a win. They have also won three of their last four games at home. The Canaries sit 12th on the table with 29 points in 23 games, scoring 39 goals and conceding 35. However, Josh Sargent (groin surgery), Liam Gibbs (hamstring injury), and Onel Hernández (hamstring injury) are all out of this game.

Expert Betting Tips
This game will be interesting, but the hosts have my full backing to win. They are familiar with this turf and have not lost in their last 9 to QPR. So, that is enough motivation for the boys. Also, games between the two sides have always produced a low goal, and I expect this game to follow suit.
