NORWICH CITY V TOTTENHAM PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Norwich has a tough season ahead after losing manager Paul Lambert over the summer but they are outside the relegation zone at the moment.  They currently sit in 16^th with 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses from their 9 matches.  The lack of wins is a worrying statistic for Norwich fans but they are undefeated in two games with a home win against Arsenal followed up with a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa so they will have confidence going forward and have two winnable games ahead in the league.  It is unlikely they will worry too much about the League Cup and instead fight for their league place.

Tottenham are fighting to hang onto the coat tails of the top teams in the EPL.  They sit 4^th with 17 points from 9 matches, winning 5 and drawing 2.  They suffered a big loss to Chelsea two weeks ago but bounced back to beat Southampton away last week.  They have won 5 of their last 6 EPL matches and will be taking the league cup more seriously than most with manager Andre Villas-Boas desperate to win trophies.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Norwich played a practical reserve side in the last round of the cup at home to Doncaster and just sneaked through with a 1-0 win.  They will again play an understrength side for this one in order to concentrate on their Premier League survival which is in threat after a poor start to the season.  They will not feel the need for extra cup games taking away their focus.

Tottenham on the other hand seem to be battling to win any trophy they can.  In the Europa League where managers are expected to rest players AVB has put out nearly full strength sides and I’d expect a strong lineup for this match also.

NORWICH CITY V TOTTENHAM PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Tottenham are favourites here despite being the away side and I think they are likely to take the game more seriously than Norwich. I feel they will have too much for a Norwich side which will be worried about their EPL survival foremost and will not want the distraction of this cup game.

Tottenham are a strong price with Paddy Power at 1.91 for the win and I’ll be backing them there!

NORWICH CITY - TOTTENHAM PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market sees a Tottenham win as more likely than a draw or home win combined. The top price here for Spurs -0.5 is 1.89 with 188bet.  As we can see above there is more value on the same bet if you stick to the 1x2 market, so visit Paddy if you are backing spurs.

NORWICH CITY - TOTTENHAM PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Norwich and Spurs both have had just 2 of their last 5 matches over 2.5 goals. This is surprising with both teams able to score goals.  With some first team players being rested you would expect more goals in the game and the markets see that with the Over being a strong favourite.

I will be making a value play on Under 2.5 Goals which is a large 2.3 with Stan James.
