Tottenham vs Norwich Soccer Betting Tips

16 teams are still represented in the round of 16 of the oldest cup competition in the world, the English FA Cup. Compared to the previous rounds, there will be a significant change this week, because in the event of a tie after 90 minutes there will be no replay, but an extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout.

Tottenham vs Norwich Soccer Betting Tips

120 minutes on Wednesday evening in the Spurs’ new stadium can certainly not be completely ruled out, although before the duel between Tottenham and Norwich the odds of the best bookmakers turn out quite clearly in favor of the home side. The clarity surprises us, however, especially since the Mourinho team has not been able to convince at all recently and is also still plagued by a plight of injuries.

The Londoners have all lost the last three competitive matches. As a result, the Lilywhites dropped to seventh in the Premier League and are currently even worried about participating in international business. Also in the Champions League, due to the 0-1 defeat at home against RB Leipzig threatens to leave. The FA Cup is the only way to bring the bottom line of the disappointing season to a conciliatory end.

But the undertaking is not going to be easy, because with the canaries, an opponent comes to the capital, who celebrated a win at Leicester’s weekend 1-0 and fueled new confidence.

Nevertheless, the relegation battle has the highest priority for the team of the German coach Daniel Farke, which is why a prediction on the favorites seems more sustainable between Tottenham and Norwich.

Tottenham – Statistics & current form

Last year, Tottenham was still in the final for the UEFA Champions League. With Mauricio Pochettino at the top, the Spurs were among those European teams that offered the most attractive and at the same time most successful football.

Nothing of that can be seen at the moment. Pochettino was released from his duties at the end of November and replaced by Jose Mourinho, who has so far been unable to prove that he can lift the “Lilywhites” to a new or at least the old level.

Tottenham last with three losses in a row

After Tottenham was without defeat for seven consecutive games in a row (five wins, two draws), the form curve in the past three matches clearly pointed in the opposite direction. The English capital club lost in the Premier League at Chelsea FC (1: 2) and at home over the weekend against Wolverhampton (2: 3) and also had to admit defeat in the premier class RB Leipzig in front of their home crowd (0: 1).

The trend is dangerous in that the blue-and-white fell back to seventh place in the country’s top floor and now even have to worry about participating in the Europa League 2020/21. To make matters worse, Jose Mourinho still has to do without numerous top performers.

Mourinho has to do without numerous top performers

The failures of the two most dangerous attackers Harry Kane and Hyeung-Min Son can hardly be compensated. In addition, Ryan Sessegnon and Hugo Lloris, who like Moussa Sissoko will not be part of the squad on Wednesday evening, were injured recently.

Accordingly, it is forbidden to bet between Tottenham and Norwich that the host will win. Instead, we expect a tough match that may remain open until the end. In the end, the Mourinho team should still be of sufficient quality to make it into the quarter-finals, especially since the Spurs in front of their own fans, despite various slips, can still be assessed more strongly than abroad.

Probable lineups of Tottenham:
➱ Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Lo Celso, Winks, Ndombele; Lucas, Alli, Bergwijn

Tottenham vs Norwich Soccer Betting Tips

Norwich – Statistics & current form

If you look at the planned starting line-up of Norwich City for the FA Cup round of 16 on Wednesday evening in London, you would probably never think of the “name dropping” that it is a first division club in the supposedly strongest league in Europe.

With Ralf Fährmann, Mario Vrancic, Tom Trybull, Lukas Rupp, Marco Stiepermann or Josip Drmic, we expect six former Bundesliga professionals from the start, who never made the big breakthrough in the top German league and were ultimately sorted out. At the Premier League promoted team in Norwich, however, the aforementioned players, under the direction of trainer Daniel Farke, play important roles.

The relegation battle is a top priority

Even so far they have not been able to prevent everything from pointing to an immediate relegation to the championship. After 28 game days, the canaries are only at 21 points and have so far only been able to win five matches.

Last weekend, they owe that the green-yellows can at least dream of staying in the league again. There the men from East England won 1-0 at home against Champions League contender Leicester and fueled new self-confidence for the upcoming tasks.

The “canaries” are usually too harmless to attack

After three games in which the Farke-Elf failed to score, the spell was finally broken again. Nevertheless, the harmless offensive remains one of the big construction sites. No first division team scored fewer goals than the “Canaries” (25). However, because the defensive does not concede an average of two goals per game, numerous matches involving the green-yellow team ended with fewer than four goals.

Only in two of the past 14 Premier League games would a bet on Over 3.5 have been successful. As a result, on Wednesday evening it is in our eyes quite obvious to combine the odds for a maximum of three goals in the course of the game with the success of the Spurs between Tottenham and Norwich.

Sam Byram, Onel Hernandez and Timm Klose are injured. There is also a question mark behind the commitment of Christopher Zimmermann. In the previous cup competition, the canaries had to deal with Preston North End (4: 2) and Burnley (2: 1). Both times it was enough to achieve scarce successes and thus for the first participation in the FA Cup round of 16 since 2012. At least in the quarterfinals, the long-standing second division team last stood in 1992.

Probable lineup of Norwich:
➱ Fährmann; Aarons, Godfrey, Hanley, Lewis; Vrancic, Trybull; Rupp, Stiepermann, Cantwell; Drmic

Last games from Norwich:

⚽️ 02/28/2020 – Norwich City vs. Leicester City 1-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 02/23/2020 – Wolverhampton vs. Norwich City 3-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 02/15/2020 – Norwich City vs. Liverpool 0-1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 02/01/2020 – Newcastle vs. Norwich City 0-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 01/25/2020 – Burnley vs. Norwich City 1: 2 (FA Cup)

Tottenham vs Norwich Direct comparison & statistics highlights

There were a total of 66 encounters between the two teams, of which almost half (30) won the Spurs. What is more interesting than a look at the long history in this pairing, however, is the observation of the recent direct duels that took place in the current Premier League season. In London the “Lilywhites” won 2-1; on Carrow Road in the east of England, however, it was 2-2 after 90 minutes.

Tottenham vs Norwich Soccer Betting Tips

Does Tottenham gamble away all hopes of a solid season within two weeks? According to the latest results of the Spurs, this question must definitely be allowed. After three defeats in a row in the Premier League and the Champions League, the Mourinho team are fighting for their form. At least in the FA Cup, the Londoners want to maintain the chance of winning a title.

In any case, the task seems feasible on paper. Before the round of 16 between Tottenham and Norwich, the betting odds of the reputable bookmakers in Germany are clearly in favor of the seventh in the top division in England. A 1.64 in the lead for a home win after 90 minutes does not give us the desired value.

Key facts – Tottenham vs Norwich tips

🔸 Tottenham last with three losses in a row
🔸 Only two of the last 14 Norwich PL games have scored more than 3.5 goals
🔸 The Spurs have to do without numerous top performers

Instead, we combine the Tottenham vs. Norwich prediction of home victory with the number of goals in the game. The Spurs have to do without important players on the offensive, while matches with the participation of the “Canaries” usually end up with few goals anyway. Consequently, we believe in a maximum of three goals in regular time.
