Norwich vs Brighton Prediction

This one has the potential to be quite an entertaining encounter at Carrow Road with a front foot and attacking Norwich City side taking on a Brighton and Hove Albion side that have an abundance of attacking options striving for some fluency and rhythm.

Coached by Johannes Hoff Thorup, the Canaries have an entertaining style of football that has them in a position where they can make a tilt at the top six and the playoff places. They most recently enjoyed a dramatic 2-1 defeat of Coventry City last weekend in which midfielder Amankwah Forson scored a second-half stoppage-time brace.

Brighton and Hove Albion, with Fabian Hurzeler at the helm, have been left frustrated in their hunt for European qualification this season with six draws and two defeats in their last eight games in the league. They enjoyed an improved performance last weekend as they pegged Arsenal back to a 1-1 draw at the AMEX Stadium.

Norwich’s 26 Championship matches have consisted of 80 goals this season and this should be a continuation of those high-scoring tendencies, regardless of the match result.

Norwich vs Brighton Tip: Over 2.5 goals
