Match Prediction

The price of -122 looks particularly appealing when it comes to wagering Under 2.5 for this Championship showdown. It’s expected that these teams could be set to play out a low-scoring clash.

We study the Championship form as a first port of call and also make sure we’re across any injuries before making our football predictions. Then it’s a case of understanding the sort of narrative that the stats provide.

Key Norwich vs Stoke league stats:

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 6 of the last 10 Norwich games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 3 of the last 5 Norwich games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 2 Norwich games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 3 Stoke games on the road.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 7 of the last 10 Stoke games on the road.
