Manchester City vs Norwich City Predictions and Betting Tips
Manchester City and Norwich City would be looking to put points on the board as both sides lock horns at the Etihad this Saturday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
This might be a good time for the visitors to replicate their 3-2 victory against Pep’s side at the beginning of the 2019/2020 season. However, this represents only the Canaries’ first win in seven games against the Cityzens.
The Cityzens’ struggle carry on
Pep and his boys failed to get off the mark in the Premier League’s inaugural weekend as they were beaten by Nuno’s Spurs in London. Amidst the Harry Kane rumours, Son played the decisive role of netting in the second half to pick up maximum points for his side. This is just a week on from the Cityzens’ community shield loss against Leicester City which they also lost one goal to nil. Although it is still early on, there certainly would be some pressure for City to pick up maximum points here as they prepare for a couple of tough matches.
Norwich’s first two games couldn’t have been more difficult as the newly-promoted side prepare to travel to Manchester after hosting Liverpool last weekend. Unsurprisingly, they were put to the sword by the Reds in a comfortable 3-0 victory- Jota, Salah and Firmino on the scoresheet. Although the standards differ drastically, the Canaries finished the 2020/2021 season with the best record away from home in the Championship.
