Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion lock horns in one of the standout derby games of Championship round one, with both sides coming into the contest on the back of impressive cup victories. The Canaries will be looking to build on a convincing 4-1 win over MK Dons in the EFL Cup and are likely to stick to their attacking approach. Mohamed Toure should retain his place after an excellent display against MK Dons, while Andre Brooks is pushing for a start after impressing on his Norwich debut. The Canaries have won 10 of their previous 21 meetings with West Brom, scoring 34 goals.
West Brom, meanwhile, are enjoying a five-game winning run in all competitions, including friendlies. The Baggies cruised past Rotherham 4-1 in their EFL Cup opener, with summer signing Jimmy-Jay Morgan stealing the headlines after scoring twice. West Brom have won eight of the last 21 H2H meetings, while 48% of those encounters produced over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, only 43% saw both teams find the net.
Norwich's home advantage and the stronger H2H record make them favourites to win their season opener. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (48% of their last 21 meetings reached three goals).
Norwich to Score Over 1.5: The Canaries have scored 34 goals across those 21 H2Hs.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
