LiontipsNorwich vs Plymouth. Prediction and bets on the English Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Norwich have been in crisis since mid-October and have not been able to get out of it. Such indicators do not allow them to properly improve their standings, and the team is in 13th place in the standings, ahead of the relegation zone by only four points. They play much better at home, and their upcoming opponent has managed to win in three previous meetings in face-to-face games in front of local fans, so it is not surprising that bookmakers have made the hosts the clear favorites.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, the hosts will be without Ashley Barnes, Christian Fassnacht, Liam Gibbs, Angus Gunn, Onel Hernandez, Marcelino Nunez and Sargent in this match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Norwich have scored in eight of their last nine home games
- The hosts have not been able to win for seven matches in a row
Probable line-up: Long - Fisher, Duffy, Cordoba, Doyle - Forsyth, Sorensen, Marcondes - Crnac, Schwartau, Sainz.
Current form
Plymouth are in 19th place and are two points clear of the relegation zone. Wayne Rooney protégés have shown good results in recent matches. There has been only one defeat in the last five rounds, but only one victory has been recorded. The remaining matches have been drawn. Away matches are not the strong point of the visitors of the upcoming match, because this season they have played nine away matches and have failed to win any of them (seven defeats and two draws).
Disqualifications and injuries
Sissoko, Goloway, Gibson, Hazard and Tijani will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Plymouth have failed to win in nine away games
- The visitors have scored in the last three matches
Probable line-up: Grimshaw - Mumba, Wright, Such, Edwards - Randall, Whittaker, Obafemi, Gyabi, Al-Haj - Hardy.

1.50Tip and bets
Both teams are failing in defense. The hosts have conceded in the last seven matches, and the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of the last ten encounters. Also note that in four of the last five head-to-head matches, both teams scored. All this suggests that both teams will be able to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.70
Bet on the outcome
Norwich are huge favourites in this encounter, but we wouldn't be so sure. A seven-game winless run, as well as three unbeaten games for Plymouth, suggest the visitors are not likely to lose by a large margin.
Forecast - Asian handicap (+1.5) on Plymouth with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
The match is unlikely to be closed, as both teams need points. We believe that the style of play will be aggressive, and the teams will be able to make quite a few passes from the corner flag.
Forecast - total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
