Norwich City take on Walsall to Carrow Road in the FA Cup last 64 looking to respond after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Stoke City, though the positive news for the hosts is that they have no fresh injury concerns. Norwich’s home form has been inconsistent, with a 1.67 PPG return and back-to-back home defeats preceding this tie. Still, their underlying numbers remain decent at Carrow Road, averaging 1.46 expected goals and scoring 1.17 goals per home game, suggesting they should create enough against lower-league opposition.
The Saddlers, meanwhile, travel with confidence despite the 2-0 loss to Cambridge and the likely absence of experienced striker Jamille Matt. The Saddlers have quietly been one of League Two’s strongest away sides, winning 67% of their away matches and conceding just 0.50 goals per game on the road. Their defensive stability is matched by balanced metrics—1.21 xG and 1.19 xGA away, numbers that indicate resilience even against stronger opponents.
This has the feel of a competitive Cup tie, but Norwich’s quality and squad depth should eventually tell against a well-organised Walsall side. Therefore, we predict Home Win, with additional value on Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals.
This FA Cup match will be played on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 14:30.
