Our Three Predictions For West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City
- Prediction 1 – Josh Maja to score – 3/2
- Prediction 2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 4/5
- Prediction 3 – West Bromwich Albion to win – 17/20
Above are our expert selected odds from the best sports betting sites in the UK.
First Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City – Josh Maja To Score – 3/2
This game will see the top two goalscorers in the Championship face off in the form of West Brom’s Josh Maja and Norwich’s Borja Sainz. Maja has been the bigger scoring threat with a much higher xG than his Spanish counterpart but it is Sainz that leads the charts by two goals. Neither side have been scoring freely over recent weeks but despite their woes, Maja has continued to add to his tally with a goal in the last game against Hull City. If West Brom score on Saturday, it is likely to be through the Nigerian striker who has been linked with a move to Spain in January.
Second Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 4/5
As mentioned previously, these two sides are struggling to find the net in their recent matches. Albion has failed to find the net in three of their last five and Norwich have gone goalless in two matches across the same period. The Canaries have scored six goals across their last five, double West Brom’s total. It’s hard to see either side getting a glut of goals, however Norwich have dispatched three past Middlesbrough and two past Preston North End prior to the international break.
Third Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City – West Bromwich Albion To Win – 17/20
Norwich losing three on the bounce combined with The Baggies’ unbeaten run makes a pick for West Brom to win the most logical. The Norfolk club seem to lave lost a spark upon the injury of Josh Sargent and whilst this game will likely see Ashley Barnes and Onel Hernandez to return in the attack it may be too soon for them to be performing at their best. Both Josh Maja and Tom Fellows were given breaks towards the end of the Hull City game and were not on international duty, whilst Karlan Grant has also added to the goals recently.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
The big story coming into the match is Norwich’s poor form coming into the international break. They lost three games in a row and are on a six-game winless run and will hope the international break will allow them to regroup properly to get themselves back up the table. The poor spell has seen them plummet down to 14th place in the second tier and have conceded the joint-most amount of goals in the top 14. The two points they picked up across their last five puts them at the very bottom of the form table and they have conceded 11 goals in that timeframe.
West Bromwich Albion are not at their electric best which saw them at the summit of the Championship table but are still showing they are not a side to be messed with. They are just one of three sides in the division alongside Sunderland and Millwall to be unbeaten across their last five matches. But their form at The Hawthorns is very concerning, with two wins, four draws and one loss. In those games, they have scored just twice at home and conceded once and whilst it is a sign the stadium has been a defensive fortress for them, it reflects that they are dropping points at a place where their record should be much more positive.
Both sides have been Championship regulars in recent years, with occasional stints for both sides in the Premier League. Last season saw both teams take a home win each. There has not been an away win in five games in this fixture when West Bromwich Albion sealed three points in a 4-3 thriller at Carrow Road. Since 2011, both teams have seven wins each alongside two draws.
