Southampton vs Norwich Predictions

• Southampton are on a 12-game unbeaten run (all comps)
• Norwich have lost two of their last four away games
• Saints have conceded in five of their last six league games

Form pair meet at St Mary’s

Southampton claimed a stunning 2-1 win at pacesetters Coventry over the weekend and they face another test on Wednesday as Norwich visit St Mary’s.

This is a meeting between two of the division’s form sides as both have an identical haul of 24 points from their last 10 respective games. That form has seen Norwich climb well clear of danger, while Saints have emerged as play-off contenders as they trail sixth placed Wrexham by just three points.

This is likely to be an incredibly close game but home advantage gives Southampton a significant edge and they can pick up a win.

Saints are on a 12-game unbeaten run overall and have just one defeat in their last 11 at home in the league, winning seven, while Norwich have shown occasional signs of vulnerability on their travels – losing at Leeds in the cup and Middlesbrough across their last four trips.

Saints thumped QPR 5-0 in their last home game but may have to settle for a more modest 2-1 win over the Canaries. Southampton have just one clean sheet in their last six league games and Norwich have scored in eight of their last nine games overall so goals at both ends looks likely.
