Let us be frank, Norwich is a poor team for this level, they are deservedly in the relegation zone, they have won only 4 games so far, and it is no wonder as they have scored only 13 goals! Let us not be fooled that they would be in some rising trend because they have won their last 2 league games (+cup), the opposition has been favourable against teams that are completely in bad situation, Watford and Everton. A fun fact, both of those teams fired their coach after losing to Norwich!

Palace are 8 points ahead and without a win in 3, so looking at those numbers only it is understandable to consider backing Norwich here,

but it was not so long ago when the teams met, and Palace both the actual score and the underlying xG-stats by 3-0.

Teemu Pukki has been the scorer of Norwich with his 5 goals. It is about as much as he can dream of as Norwich create chances less than 1 per game on average, there is no one to feed the strikers since Buendia left.

Another striker Sargent is ill, Kabul, Krul and Sorensen are still out. At Palace the interest lies if Zaha returns to starting lineup, the African Champion Kouyte is unlikely to do so.

Norwich are more desperate for points, but the class just is not there.

0-2

坦率地说，诺维奇在这个级别上是一支糟糕的球队，他们应该在降级区，他们到目前为止只赢了4场比赛，这并不奇怪，因为他们只进了13个球!让我们不要被他们的上升趋势所愚弄，因为他们已经赢得了他们最近的2场联赛(+杯赛)，对手对沃特福德和埃弗顿等完全处于糟糕状态的球队是有利的。有趣的是，这两支球队在输给诺维奇后都解雇了他们的教练!

宫队领先8分，三场比赛一场未胜，所以从这些数据来看，支持诺维奇是可以理解的，

但就在不久之前，两队相遇，Palace同时拿到了3-0的实际比分和xg数据。

Teemu Pukki为诺维奇打进了5球。这是他梦寐以求的，因为诺维奇场均创造的机会不到1次，自从布恩蒂亚离开后，就没有人喂前锋了。

另一名前锋萨金特生病了，喀布尔、克鲁尔和索伦森仍然缺阵。在皇宫，如果扎哈回到首发阵容，非洲冠军库yte不太可能这样做。

诺维奇更渴望得分，但实力有限。
