Norwich City vs Derby County Prediction: An easy win for the hosts

Derby County hope to snap a seven-game losing run when they travel to Carrow Road on Saturday to face Norwich City. While the hosts have won 5 of their last 8 games at home, the visitors are winless in 14 of their 15 away games this season. Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Norwich City

WLLWW

Norwich City secured their second win in a row with a 1-0 win over Watford in their last game. Joshua Sargent scored the only goal of the game in the 41st minute. The 24-year-old striker is gradually becoming a key player in the team after previously battling injuries. He got a brace against Swansea prior to this win. The Canaries have won two of their last five games and remain unbeaten in four of their last five games. They sit 8th on the table with 42 points in 30 games, scoring 49 points and conceding 42. The team will be without Borja Sainz, who will complete his six-game suspension; Forson Amankwah, Gabriel Forsyth, Anis Ben Slimane, Marcelino Nunez, Liam Gibbs, and Callum Eder are also ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Derby County

LLLLL

Derby County suffered a 1-0 loss to Sheffield United in their last game to extend their losing run to seven games in the league. They have only secured a win on the road this season. Their away record is the joint-third worst in the league. They sit 22nd on the table with 27 points in 30 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 41. However, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Kane Wilson, and Dajaune Brown are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Norwich City — Angus Gunn, Kellen Fisher, Shane Duffy, Callum Doyle, Ben Chrisene, Jacob Wright, Kenny McLean, Oscar Schwartau, Emiliano Marcondes, Lewis Dobbin, Josh Sargent.

Derby County — Jacob Widell Zetterström, Sondre Langås, Matt Clarke, Craig Forsyth, Ryan Nyambe, Kenzo Goudmijn, Ebou Adams, Ben Osborn, Tom Barkhuizen, Jerry Yates, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen.

After a 5-1 win over Swansea, Norwich topped their recovery up with a 1-0 win over Watford. They have been superb at home, going unbeaten in four of their last five games at home. On the other hand, Derby have lost their last 7 games in the league. They have also failed to score in four of their last five games. So, I expect a low-scoring win for the hosts.
