Sunderland vs Norwich prediction
Sunderland have lost just two of their last seven league games against Norwich City (W4 D1), though one of those defeats came in their last such meeting against the Canaries back in March (1-0).
Norwich City have lost just one of their last six away league games against Sunderland (W2 D3), despite only scoring more than one goal in just one of those matches.
Despite playing 21 games so far this season, Sunderland are yet to concede a goal from a corner, the only team to do so in the Championship.
Norwich’s 21 games on the other hand have a huge stat that should guide the betting nicely – in the league this season have seen as many as 3.24 goals on average, which is also the highest tally in the competition.
Sunderland vs Norwich betting tips
The Canaries’ ability to score loads this season in the Championship, is down to having the strongest shot conversion rate of any side in the competition (15.3%); a tally well ahead of Watford (11.9%), who are ranked in second.
Yet they are still not the leading goalscorers this season, with Leeds one goal ahead.
But they face Sunderland who are very good scorers themselves and have only conceded 17.
Which can only be a good thing to bet on here, Sunderland scoring 2+ goals given Norwich’s defensive record and Norwich to potentially struggle against a sound defence, but at most getting a goal, so 3+ overall looks a great addition to a bet builder.
Sunderland have only lost three all season and Norwich are on a bit of a poor run, which is likely to continue against the once top of the table Black Cats.
