Command Analysis
Norwich City
EnglandCurrent form
Norwich left the Premier League in 2022, managed to get into the promotion playoffs in the 2023 season, but lost to Leeds in the semi-finals. This season, the Canaries do not lose hope of entering the top six again and fighting for a return to the elite. However, this will not be easy, since after 26 rounds the team is only in 11th place and is four points behind West Bromwich, who closes the top 6. At the moment, Norwich is in good shape, has not lost in the Championship in four matches in a row - three wins and one draw. In the last round, they managed to beat Coventry on their home field with a score of 2:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gibbs, Sorensen, Slimane and Forsyth are injured and will not be able to help their team today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Norwich are on a four-game unbeaten run
- Norwich have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Goals have been exchanged in four of the Canaries' previous five matches
Probable line-up: Gunn, Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Fisher, Slimane, Macklin, Marcondes, Nunez, Krnas, Sainz.
Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent form
Brighton have noticeably slowed down during the season. The Seagulls have taken points from the top representatives of the Premier League on more than one occasion, but at the same time they clearly lack class and the ability to regularly take points from not the most formidable opponents. As a result, the team has not won in the Premier League for eight rounds in a row (six draws and two defeats). It is not surprising that against the backdrop of such weak results, Brighton has rolled back to tenth place with 28 points. In the last round, Fabian Hürzeler charges took points from London Arsenal (1:1). This draw was the fourth in a row for the Seagulls.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cadiola, Viffer, Milner and Welbeck are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton have drawn four games in a row
- In three of the previous four matches, Brighton have drawn with their opponents at the end of the first half
- Goals have been exchanged in four of the Seagulls' last five matches
Tentative line-up: Verbruggen, Julio, van Hecke, Estupignan, Veltman, Adingra, Mitoma, Dank, Ayari, Hinshelwood, Rutter.

7.70Tip and bets
Brighton took points from Arsenal in their last Premier League match, but overall the team is in decline, often failing to win against inferior opponents. The Seagulls regularly have difficulty organizing attacks, and their implementation is not always up to par. Norwich will clearly play at their best in their home match against a representative of the Premier League, where they themselves are striving. The Canaries are currently on a good run, are on a four-match unbeaten streak and are quite capable of fighting for a spot in the 1/16 finals of the Cup.
Our prediction is Norwich win with Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
In the last 13 matches Brighton have only failed to exchange goals with their opponents once. Norwich, given their opponents' less than stable defensive play, are capable of scoring a goal at home, but the Seagulls also have solid attacking potential.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.67
Bet on the first half
Three of Brighton last four matches have ended in a draw at half-time. We expect the rivals to watch each other closely and not take unnecessary risks.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.42
