In their previous FA Cup matches, Leeds were away to Birmingham City and won on penalties (1-1 AET), while Norwich hosted West Bromwich Albion and won 3-1.

Leeds vs Norwich Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

The bookmakers have Leeds United at -222 when it comes to 1x2. This suggests that the favourites have a 69% chance of winning this FA Cup clash based on the betting odds. Norwich City are the outsiders at +550 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Leeds can be backed alternatively on the Half-Time Result market and that means getting -106. However, Norwich are +480 and the draw is +150 if you want to take a different option.
