Brighton vs Norwich Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Brighton and Hove Albion face Norwich City in the Championship this Saturday. Read the match predictions to find out why Brighton are the betting tip to get 3 points at the Amex Stadium. Both of these sides are hoping to earn promotion to the top-flight, so this should be a competitive affair to savour.
Brighton vs Norwich Preview
Brighton ensured they remained in the automatic promotion places with a hard-earned 0-1 victory over Wigan last weekend. Meanwhile Norwich slipped to fourth after losing 0-1 at home to Preston North End and have subsequently been dumped out of the EFL Cup by Leeds United.
David Stockdale was kept busy away to Wigan but kept the Latics out and will be hoping to record a fourth clean sheet in five home matches. Dale Stephens nodded home the winner after coming off the bench, so will be hoping to earn a start here.
Norwich made multiple changes for the midweek trip to Leeds and are expected to revert back to the usual setup here. That would mean Klose and Martin coming back in at the back and Dorrans returning to the midfield alongside Tettey. Cameron Jerome has 6 goals so far this season and will lead the line for the visitors.

Brighton 4-4-2 formation: Stockdale; Bong, Duffy, Goldson, Saltor; Skalak, Sidwell, Norwood, Knockaert; Baldock, Murray

Brighton vs Norwich Prediction
The Seagulls are well and truly flying in the Championship, with no defeat in 8 games. They were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Preston but have since turned in professional performances to win 1-0 at home to Wolves and away at Wigan.
Meanwhile, Norwich have gone off the boil and are in danger of losing ground in the race for automatic promotion. They threw away a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 at Fulham before losing at home to Preston and will be 4 points adrift of second if they lose this.
It’s a bit of a clash of styles as Brighton have the meanest defence in the league while Norwich are a free-scoring side that is second only to Newcastle in goals scored. Brighton’s home form has been solid since an early season wobble and I fancy them to pick off Norwich on the break. The visitors have only failed to score twice this season but Brighton are a confident selection to keep them out.
