Venue: Carrow Road

Wednesday night under the lights in the Championship, and it’s Norwich City up against West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road. Norwich are searching for consistency after a stop-start run, while West Brom are arriving with momentum and a defence that’s starting to look the real deal.

Norwich have been unpredictable all season, while the Baggies are quietly putting wins together. So, who’s going to edge it this time? Let’s dive in.

Norwich vs West Brom Team News

Norwich City
The Canaries still can’t seem to settle into a groove. Defensively, they’ve been far too open, conceding 12 goals in just seven matches. Josh Sargent remains the key man up top after his late winner against West Brom earlier this year, and he’ll need to be sharp again. Jovon Makama should keep his spot after scoring against Stoke.

Vladan Kovacevic is set to start in goal, with Harry Darling and Jakov Medic expected to hold the line. Kenny McLean continues to be the midfield anchor, but the pressure is on Norwich’s back three to stop leaking goals.

West Bromwich Albion
The Baggies, on the other hand, are more settled. Their only injury issue is Josh Maja (calf), which means Ryan Mason has nearly a full squad. Samuel Iling-Junior is looking lively, having opened the scoring against Leicester last week, while Mikey Johnston and Isaac Price should also feature in attack.

Expect West Brom to line up with Josh Griffiths in goal, a back four of Campbell, Phillips, Mepham, and Taylor, and Alex Mowatt running the midfield. They’ve got a shape that’s tough to break down — three clean sheets in their last four matches prove it.

Likely Lineups

Norwich: Kovacevic; Medic, Darling, Fisher; Stacey, Mattsson, McLean, Schwartau; Makama, Gibbs; Sargent

West Brom: Griffiths; Campbell, Phillips, Mepham, Taylor; Molumby, Mowatt; Johnston, Price, Iling-Junior; Heggebö

Norwich vs West Brom Betting Tips

This one has all the ingredients for a cagey battle. Norwich can’t keep clean sheets, but they always look dangerous going forward. West Brom, though, are masters of grinding out results.

Betting angles worth a look:

• Both Teams to Score – Yes. Norwich concede far too often, but they’ve also scored in 6 of their last 7.
• Under 2.5 Goals. West Brom’s style is compact, and they rarely blow teams away.
• Draw or West Brom Win (Double Chance). Norwich haven’t won at home in three games, while West Brom are unbeaten in their last three away.

Norwich vs West Brom Match Prediction

Norwich will want to use home advantage, but the numbers don’t lie: they’ve dropped points too often at Carrow Road. West Brom’s confidence is growing, and their ability to dig in away from home could frustrate the Canaries.

This feels like one of those tight, tense matches that gets decided late. Norwich’s attacking threat means they’ll likely score, but I don’t see them keeping West Brom out for 90 minutes.

Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.

Norwich vs West Brom Correct Score Tips & Prediction

I’m leaning towards a 1–1 draw here. Norwich will almost certainly find the net with Josh Sargent leading the line, but their defence just doesn’t look capable of holding out for 90 minutes. West Brom are organised, disciplined, and tough to break down, so they’ll get their chances too.

Correct Score Prediction: Norwich 1–1 West Brom. Bet with bet365.

Norwich vs West Brom Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

The stats are split. Norwich’s leaky defense suggests goals, but West Brom’s tight structure points to a low-scoring affair.

• Under 2.5 Goals feels like the smarter play given West Brom’s style.
• Over 2.5 Goals has landed in 3 of Norwich’s last 5, but only 2 of West Brom’s last 6.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
