Norwich vs Portsmouth Preview
Saturday’s football game at Carrow Road pits together two sides hoping to build momentum, although Norwich City have a far more pressing need to stop the rot. The Canaries are on a five-game losing run in all competitions after falling 1-0 to Southampton, with the absence of injured top scorer Mohamed Toure clearly hurting their attacking options. Jovon Makama and Tony Maghoma are both pushing for starts as Philippe Clement searches for a solution. Norwich have conceded 1.75 goals per game at home in their recent sample, underlining the defensive issues they must address.
Portsmouth, on the other hand, are high on confidence after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sheffield United, a result that could provide a timely confidence boost. John Mousinho’s men have struggled for consistency this season, particularly away from home, but their latest performance showed they can cause problems going forward. Keshi Anderson is doubtful after picking up a knock in midweek, potentially weakening their attacking options ahead of this trip.
As Norwich's home matches have produced four goals per game on average, and both teams scored in 75% of those fixtures, we are tempted to place our bets on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 goals, and Portsmout or Draw (better form).
