Norwich to Win

Reason for tip

Norwich look the best bet at home to Portsmouth. They are in strong form, winning seven of their last nine and five of their last six at Carrow Road, while also keeping four clean sheets in six. Portsmouth are struggling, losing five of their last six and conceding in ten straight games. With Portsmouth also leaking plenty on the road and Norwich usually scoring well against bottom-six sides, the hosts should have enough.

Norwich 1-0

Reason for tip

Norwich 1-0 is the correct-score pick. Norwich have been keeping games tight lately, with five of their last six finishing under 2.5 goals, and they have four clean sheets in their last six. Portsmouth concede regularly but are not always easy to blow away, and Norwich have shown they can win narrow games, including a recent 1-0 win over Charlton. With Portsmouth in poor form and Norwich defending well, another controlled home win without reply is the likeliest outcome.

Norwich can grind past Portsmouth at Carrow Road

Norwich can be backed to beat Portsmouth at Carrow Road on Friday, with the visitors facing a tougher task than in their recent 6-1 defeat to QPR.

They are 11 places above Portsmouth in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they have won this season. The hosts sit tenth with 16 wins and 17 defeats, while the visitors are 21st having won ten and lost 18 of their 38 games.

Norwich have kept four clean sheets in their last six Championship outings, while Portsmouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in ten straight games. They have conceded 34 goals away from home this season – an average of 1.79 per game from 19 matches.

Norwich are in excellent form, having won seven of their last nine matches and five of their last six home games in the Championship. In contrast, Portsmouth have lost five of their last six matches overall and are without a win in any of their last three away games.

Norwich will be optimistic of finding the net, having scored an average of 1.91 goals a game in their 11 Championship games against teams in the bottom six this season.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Norwich looks the most likely outcome in the correct-score market. Five of the Canaries’ last six Championship games have gone under 2.5 goals and, in their most recent league match, they beat Charlton 1-0.
