Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a morale-boosting win over Southampton, Norwich City will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Wolverhampton to their Carrow Road. The Canaries are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail in Saturday’s football match. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Finland international Teemu Pukki, while defenders Zimmermann and Byram remain in the recovery room.
The Wolves, on the other hand, defeated West Ham thanks to Raul Jimenez’s goal. The Mexico international has been making progress week by week, and he is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. All Neto, Jonny, and Mosquera are out of contention with injuries for the away team. Since Wolverhampton are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money 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.
