Norwich City vs BIRMINGHAM CITY: BEST BETS
Norwich – 17/20
Draw – 47/20
Blues – 17/5
After four games without a win, Birmingham head to Carrow Road in a bid to secure a shock away victory.
Garry Monk’s side are priced out at 17/5 to claim three points against Norwich City on Friday night. The travelling Blues fans will be hoping for a positive result…
Birmingham are still eighth in the Championship table but momentum has stalled in recent weeks.
The Blues fell short at home to Middlesbrough in their most recent league game and bouncing back at the first time of asking is an absolute must.
Plenty of punters will fancy Birmingham to avoid defeat at 23/25.
Monk’s side have enough quality in key areas of the field to do a job on Norwich but are they mentally prepared? This has all the makings of a fascinating affair – it could go either way.
The goals have dried up since the busy festive period but Birmingham are always dangerous when Che Adams and Lukas Jutkiewicz are on the pitch.
With a combined 23 goals so far this season, Birmingham’s main men will be chomping at the bit ahead of Friday’s contest.
Not for the first time this campaign, 888sport can’t split Birmingham’s attackers in their goal scorer markets.
11/4 for an anytime goal is an excellent price and punters may fancy Adams to score for the third Championship game in a row.
Meanwhile, Norwich are third in the table – just four points behind early pacesetters Leeds United.
The Canaries, priced at 9/2 to win the title in Championship betting odds, have gone five games without a win in all competitions since beating Blackburn before Christmas.
Daniel Farke’s side will be fired up and ready to go here. Both teams will fancy their chances at Carrow Road and that brings the both teams to score (10/13) into play.
Norwich are the second-highest scorers in the Championship behind West Bromwich Albion and an exciting game awaits.
This one is difficult to call. Norwich are usually strong on home soil but Birmingham will be encouraged by their recent struggles.
The 13/1 for Blues to lead at half-time but the match to end a draw is worth considering – it should be a topsy-turvy game at Carrow Road.
Prediction: Norwich 2-2 Birmingham (13/1)
Bet of the day: Both teams to score (10/13)
Outside punt: Birmingham half-time / Draw full-time (13/1)
