Norwich vs Wolves – Result Prediction (Premier League – 21.12.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Premier League (PL) life has proven as tough as expected for Norwich City (W3, D3, L11), who are winless in four and won’t realistically escape the bottom three regardless of this result. Should Norwich concede, it will be their first 13-game PL run at home in which they failed to keep a cleansheet. The Canaries’ shaky defence has conceded 40 PL goals across the last 17 home matches (2.35 per-match on average), the same amount they shipped across the last 40 matches prior to that.

Losers last time out, Wolverhampton Wanderers have not lost back-to-back league games since September and sit just two points outside the top five, with a league-high nine draws (W5, L3). Interestingly, Wolves’ away PL record vs teams who begin the day in the bottom-three leaves much to be desired (W2, D4, L11). More topically, the visitors have won just one such game of four since their promotion last term (W1, D1, L2). Often tighter after the interval though, just one third of Wolves’ conceded away league goals came in the second half.Wolves coach Nuno Santo remains unbeaten against Daniel Farke’s Norwich (W1, D1) with his side bagging exactly two goals in both games, respectively.

Players to watch: The workmanlike Teemu Pukki has found the net in three of his last four appearances, twice as first goalscorer – he also scored the winner in Norwich’s sole home victory. Adama Traoré scored his first home goal for Wolves last time out, prior to that all three of his PL strikes came away from home and in the final 15 minutes of play.

Stat attack: Norwich have conceded 2+ goals in each of their last seven home league games. Both sides average 2.33 cards per-match across the last six H2Hs (13 yellows, one red apiece). Over half (54.55%) of Wolves’ PL away goals have come in the final half hour (36.36% of goals scored between 76th-90th+).
