Norwich vs Brighton prediction
A draw doesn’t quite look worth betting on here at first glance but considering the Seagulls have drawn in each of their last four in the Premier League, it really isn’t a bad price.
Brighton have hit a really poor run of form recently, despite picking up four points from those draws are winless in their last EIGHT games.
They drew 1-1 to Southampton in November which seemed to be the start of things going downhill after the highs of winning 2-1 at home to City earlier the same month.
Since their last win (2-1 over Bournemouth) they’ve drawn as many as six and lost twice, to Fulham and Crystal Palace in December.
The club and fans will be hoping to turn things around and sometimes a cup victory can lift spirits enough, even with a few lineup changes.
Norwich on the other hand, come into this having won three of their last four picking up ten points from a possible 12 in the Championship.
The Canaries have also been prone to a draw in the league this season with as many as nine, which is the joint-fifth most in the league.
They will be keen to get something from this match and with no replays on the cards they could go all out at home to try and capitalise on Brighton’s poor run of form.
Norwich vs Brighton betting tips
While Norwich could try and utilise a strong side to face Brighton, who are probably set to make a few changes ahead of their midweek clash against Ipswich, the Seagulls should be able to break Norwich down.
A draw still pays very well compared to a Brighton win which just doesn’t appeal at all at 1/2, given the two teams respective form coming into this.
Instead this has a tough draw written all over it with both sides able to cancel each other out.
Borja Sainz has been a stand-out player for Norwich City this season, scoring as many as 15 goals already in the Championship from just 26 appearances.
He’s more than doubled his tally from last season in 11 less games and has caught the eye of many clubs as a result.
The Spanish left winger could be crucial here as a likely starter in the clash, while Brighton’s lineup is a bit tougher to predict for any solid scorer bets.
