Crystal Palace vs. Norwich: Preview and betting tips

Last Norwich have a very important game on Tuesday. They have to score at Crystal Palace, otherwise the road to salvation will be very difficult. What to expect from both teams?

Crystal Palace can be satisfied with their season so far. It went into it with a new coach Patrick Vieira and the players are playing attractive football under him. The Eagles are twelfth in the table, three points clear of ninth-placed Brighton.

Norwich are much worse off due to four losses in a row. They are last in the table, made worse by a high Sunday 0:5 loss to Arsenal. The Canaries are three points behind the relegation places.

One of the best players in the Premier League is Connor Gallagher, the young midfielder boasts a record of 6+3. The lanky striker Christian Benteke has hit four times, adding one goal and one assist.

It’s hard to praise anyone in the away camp. Finnish international Teemu Pukki, as the main weapon of the team, has scored five times and defensive midfielder Mathias Normann has also performed well. Otherwise, however, it’s hardly below average.

Crystal Palace’s offensive has stopped working a bit in November, Vieira’s charges have scored more than one goal in only two of the last six rounds.

Norwich are far worse off in this respect too. In eighteen games they have scored eight goals, that’s less than half a goal per ninety minutes. The second worst scoring team, Wolverhampton, have scored thirteen goals.

Given Conor Gallagher’s form and the visitors’ harmless attack, I think the home side will win.
