Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Bet365 Stadium when Stoke City and Norwich City face each other in the Championship round 38. The Potters are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, and given their signs of improvement up front, we predict that they will find the net in Saturday’s encounter. Matija Sarkic and Nick Powell remain in the recovery room, as well as veteran defender Phil Jagielka.
The Canaries, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Idah and Gibson limped off with injuries in the midweek draw with Huddersfield Town, with Pukki and Omobamidele likely to step up. The likes of Dowell, Byram, Hayden, Rowe, and Placheta are struggling with injuries as well.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
