Norwich – Brentford : Preview & Prediction
Observers who like to watch survival games will not be disappointed this weekend in the Premier League as bottom-placed Norwich host 15th-placed Brentford, three points clear of the relegation zone. What a difficult time for the Canaries! Second worst defence in the league (fifty-five goals conceded) and worst attack (fifteen goals scored), Dean Smith’s men have gone four games in a row without a win, losing three and drawing one! Worse still, they have conceded ten goals in that run and scored just two. Pukki, who has scored six times this season, has been doing his best for his club for four years now, but a descent seems inevitable this season for a side that had only just returned to the top flight of English football…
On the other hand, Thomas Frank’s side are in the midst of a battle to retain their place in the PL and have a small margin over the red zone led by Burnley. However, a wake-up call is expected from the Bees who have been waiting for a win in the league since the 2nd of January in order to break a terrible series of nine defeats in eleven games (one win and one draw). The impact of Christian Eriksen will have to be important and decisive or else they will lose several points and a few places before the thirty-eighth matchday. With just one goal scored in 360 minutes, fans will be looking for an attacking wake-up call from their team at the bottom of England.
Norwich have just taken four points from a possible nine at home.
Norwich won the first leg 2-1.
Brentford concede a minimum of two goals when they lose a game in 2022.
Brentford have an inconsistent but influential striker in Ivan Toney, who has scored six goals this season and twice in the last three games.
Brentford have not won on the road since 03 October 2021.
Norwich have been far too inconsistent this season to have any hope of staying up at the end of the campaign. Against Brentford, who are in the midst of a battle for a place in the Premier League, it will be difficult to fight against this motivation. But the Canaries are keeping their hopes alive so never say never. We advise you to play Norwich or draw at 1.48
