Over 2 Goals
Four of Sunderland’s five league games this season produced two or more goals. The same trend happened in the last five meetings between these teams. In addition, eight of Norwich’s last ten fixtures ended with two or more goals.
Goals in Both Halves
There were goals scored in both halves in four of Sunderland’s five league games. Moreover, three of the last four meetings between these clubs also saw goals on both sides of the break.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Sunderland vs Norwich City
Sunderland
Sunderland were promoted last season from League one after finishing fifth in the regular season and going through playoffs. The Black Cats have the first division (Premier League) six times but have been playing in lower divisions in recent years.
Currently, Sunderland are in the fifth position with eight points. Boss Alex Neil might have to work on his defense as they conceded seven goals in five games. With their 0-1 win at Stoke in the previous round, the Black Cats recorded their second win and first clean sheet of the season.
Norwich City
Norwich had one of their worst seasons last term finishing bottom of the Premier League table. As a result, the Canaries were relegated to the Championship and are currently in the eighth position with seven points.
After a shaky winless start during which the Canaries lost two and drew one in the first three rounds, they managed to record their second consecutive win in the previous round. Scoring two goals a game has improved boss Dean Smith’s team’s scoring record to six goals in five games.
A tight affair is expected
This could be a very close game as the bookies suggest as well with very little difference between the odds of each team’s win. We think the best pick will be a double chance of a home win or draw which has a big probability for this fixture.
