Competition: Championship
Market: Norwich City win
Odds: 5/4 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their FA Cup adventure on Saturday afternoon, Norwich will welcome West Brom to Carrow Road for an all-Championship battle.
Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a record-breaking rut, the Canaries have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Only continuing to shine since Philippe Clement’s arrival in Norfolk, the former Rangers boss has seen his squad come skyrocketing up the Championship table. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-0 victory away at Oxford, they are riding what has become a real wave of momentum. In fact, getting February underway with a routine 2-0 win at home against Blackburn, Norwich have won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Extending on their FA Cup adventure on January 11th as they secured a 5-1 romp against League Two outfit Walsall, Clement’s side have also continued to shine on home soil. It should be highlighted, the Canaries have won their last three showdowns at Carrow Road by an aggregate score of 9-1.
As for the visitors, although Eric Ramsay might have only arrived at the Hawthorns last month, the former Minnesota boss already finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling point. Still at the heart of an infamous Championship relegation scrap, West Brom currency hold just a two-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Now playing out consecutive 0-0 stalemates against Birmingham and Stoke, Saturday’s guests have remarkably claimed just three points from any of their last eight consecutive Championship appearances. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Baggies have also gained a reputation for their issues on the road. It should be highlighted, on what has been a record-breaking rut, West Brom have failed to record a single Championship victory away from the Hawthorns since the start of October. Likewise, Ramsay’s struggling squad also slumped to a woeful 5-0 drumming when they welcomed Norwich to the Midlands back on January 20th.
Bet: Norwich City 5/4 to beat West Brom in Saturday’s FA Cup tie @ 1xBet
