Norwich City vs Brentford Preview

Norwich City are likely to be without Louis Thompson and Steven Naismith for this game in the only injury worries for The Canaries. Daniel Farke is likely to stick with Nelson Oliveira up front but he must be tempted to give Cameron Jerome a recall soon.

Brentford don’t have many injuries to worry about, with Alan Judge the long term absentee with a broken leg. Rico Henry is also missing at the moment, while Lasse Vibe has missed the last few matches and could return here.

Norwich City vs Brentford Prediction

Norwich have really struggled recently and pressure is beginning to mount on manager Daniel Farke, who only joined the club in the summer. Things looked like they may have started to take a turn when the Norfolk side beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at Carrow Road two weeks ago but they then went on to lose 1-0 at Leeds United with a poor performance.

Brentford have looked a bit better but are firmly mid table at the moment, sitting in 13th. Their form is encapsulated by their last three league matches, winning one, drawing one and losing one. Their last result was a slightly disappointing 0-0 draw against Barnsley and The Bees will hope to do a lot better at Carrow Road.

In this fixture last season, Norwich City thrashed Brentford 5-0 but a repeat of that is extremely unlikely. The tip is for nothing to separate the sides, with a 1-1 Correct Score.
