Bitesize Prediction: Norwich vs Leeds – 01/10/24

Competition: Championship

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 7/10 @ BetUS

Looking to find a route into the automatic promotion places on Tuesday night, Leeds will travel to Carrow Road when they meet Norwich.

Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have marked their return from September’s international break with a downbeat 1-0 loss at the hands of Swansea, the Canaries have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Eventually clinging to what was an action-packed 3-2 victory away at Championship returners Derby over the weekend, Johannes Hoff Thorup has seen his squad muster nine points from their previous three showdowns against second-tier opposition. Making a major statement on September 21st as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp against Watford, Norwich have now registered seven goals in their back-to-back Championship victories. However, despite dreaming of the chance to book another play-off ticket this season, Tuesday’s hosts are seeking some crucial defensive resolve. Crashing out of the EFL Cup last month on August 27th as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming away at Premier League outfit Crystal Palace, Norwich have registered just a single clean sheet from any of their first nine appearances across all competitions.

As for the visitors, although Leeds might have opened the new campaign in the midst of a real wobble, Daniel Farke’s men are pencilled in as a leading promotion contender this season. Making another statement over the weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp at home against Coventry, the ex-Norwich boss will be looking to get one over on his former employers here. Heading into September’s international break with a 2-0 victory against Hull, the Yorkshire-based outfit have won four of their previous five showdowns against Championship opposition. Looking to find a route into the automatic promotion spots on Tuesday night, Leeds will also be excited by a dominant record against the play-off hopefuls. Storming their way to a 4-0 romp when they welcomed Norwich to Elland Road for their most recent Championship battle on May 16th, Farke’s men have won five of their last six matchups against the Canaries.
