Prediction: 1-2
Middlesbrough
Norwich City will look to recover from a 3-2 defeat to Leeds United when they take on Middlesbrough on Matchday 13. The Canaries have been struggling at the back of late and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. Goalkeeper Angus Gunn limped off with injury in the last league match, with fellow shot-stopper George Long likely to step up.
The Boro, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win. Middlesbrough have been impressive at the back in recent weeks and seeing that they hammered Sunderland 4-0 in their last away game in the English second tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. Midfielder Lewis O’Brien misses out with an ankle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last meeting at Carrow Road Middlesbrough defeated Norwich City 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Paddy McNair):
Following in the footsteps of his compatriot Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair joined the Manchester United academy in 2011 and he was surprisingly handed first team debut by Louis van Gaal at the start of the 2014/2015 season.
Despite his fragile age, the talented central defender has been putting in some very mature performances ever since, and everything suggests he could go on to become an important player at Old Trafford in years to come. After representing a number of youth sides, McNair made his first appearance for the Northern Ireland senior national team in a March 2015 friendly vs Scotland, before making another three outings as his side secured their place at the Euro 2016 finals.
Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill surprisingly played McNair in holding midfield in the March 2016 friendly vs Wales. After the youngster impressed in the middle of the park, O’Neill went on to suggest that the Manchester United starlet may be used in midfield rather than defence in years to come in the national team.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
