Norwich vs Blackburn 17.12.2022

Norwich will be looking to continue their push for promotion back to the Premier League where they spent last season before dropping down as they have been wont to do in the last few seasons. The Canaries are up to 4th on the log after a crucial 1-0 win away at Swansea last weekend thanks to a Timmo Pukki goal literally in the 1st minute of the match and they are only a point behind the visitors. Another win here against their direct rivals will see them supplant them and move further up to 3rd.

Blackburn had been terrific to start the season and they had pretty much kept pace with the league leaders but a run of three losses in their last 4 league matches has seen them stagnate in the race for promotion and threatened to throw a spanner in the works. The worst of these losses came last week as they welcomed Preston who matched into Ewood Park and completely tore them to shreds in a 4-1 whitewash. Coach Tomasson will demand a response from his charges here.

These two sides have always served up exciting encounters and we feel this late kickoff won’t be any different. Although a competitive tie is expected, the football philosophies of the two clubs gravitate more towards attacking rather than defensive styles. 8 of their last 10 head-to-head encounters had both teams scoring and at least 7 of these had at least 3 goals scored. We are therefore expecting an end-to-end encounter and we are going for Over 2.5 Goals as our main shout here!

Main tip: Over 2.5 Goals (go to tip details)
