Norwich vs Leicester Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one. Norwich are absolutely rock bottom of the Championship, and frankly, it's not hard to see why. They've not won a single game in their last 10 attempts - that's 0 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses. At home, it's even worse: they've lost their last 4 on their own patch without even managing a draw. They're scoring a measly 0.5 goals per game at home while letting in 1.75. Ouch.

Leicester, on the other hand, are having a bit of a 'draw specialist' season. They've drawn 6 of their last 10 games, which is either brilliant consistency or a bit boring, depending on how you look at it. They're mid-table and while they're not setting the world alight, they're a proper cut above Norwich. Away from home, they're averaging 1.4 goals per game, which should be more than enough against this Norwich defense.

The head-to-head tells its own story - Leicester have won 7 out of 9 meetings between these two. Norwich have only beaten Leicester once in history, and that was ages ago. At home against Leicester, Norwich's record is 1 win, 0 draws, 4 losses. Not exactly intimidating, is it?

Looking at recent results, Norwich got stuffed 0-2 by Hull City at home, while Leicester managed a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. The quality gap is there for all to see. Norwich are shipping goals for fun and can't score to save their lives, while Leicester at least know where the net is, even if they do love a good draw.

Key Points:

• Norwich haven't won in 10 games and have lost 4 straight at home

• Leicester have drawn 6 of their last 10 matches - they're the draw kings

• Leicester dominate the head-to-head with 7 wins from 9 meetings

• Norwich are scoring just 0.5 goals per game at home

• Leicester average 1.4 goals per game away from home

The way I see it, Norwich are in proper trouble and can't buy a win. Leicester might be draw-happy, but even they should see off the worst team in the league. The odds of 2.35 for an away win look decent value to me.
