Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Carrow Road will host Saturday’s football game between Norwich City and Brentford, the two bottom-table sides. The Canaries suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. As a result, they dropped to the rock-bottom position in the standings. Norwich are desperate to put an end to the negative trend, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
Defender Andrew Omobamidele and forward Adam Idah are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Bees, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Newcastle, but they will have to do it without suspended midfielder Joshua Dasilva, who was sent off at the weekend. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Carrow Road, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Grant Hanley):
Grant Hanley is Scottish footballer who plays for Norwich City as defender. Hanley was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on November 20, 1991 and he started his youth career at Queen of the South. After ending his spells with Crewe Alexandra and Rangers, the Scottish player joined English club Blackburn Rovers, where he started his senior career.
After scoring eight goals in 183 appearances for the Riversiders in league matches, he moved to fellow English club Newcastle United in July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee. Grant Hanley, though, made no more than 10 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship before joining Norwich City. The 191-cm-tall defender made his full international debut for Scotland against Wales on in May, 2011.
He scored his first goal for the Scotland national football team in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales. His contract with Norwich City should expire on June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
