PREVIEW
There are a few big Premier League teams that will try to knock each other out of the FA Cup this weekend and this is a game between 2 of the smaller teams in the top flight. It should be an exciting game nevertheless.
Norwich and West Brom are separated by just 4 points in the Premier League and have already met at the Hawthorns earlier, with Norwich winning 2-1. That puts West Brom in the revenge spot here but the odds on prices on them are ridiculous.
How can West Brom be priced the way they are when Norwich have more wins away from home than West Brom have at home?
Norwich are going great guns at the moment, riding a 4 game unbeaten streak and having lost just 1 of their last 8 league games! In that time, they have travelled and won at West Brom and down in London, coming from behind to beat QPR.
What I love about Norwich is the fighting spirit this team shows, meaning you always get good value for any bets where you back them for putting up a, well, fight.
West Brom won their last FA Cup match, scoring 4 to knock out Cardiff. They did concede twice though. Norwich also banged in 4 goals to get past Burnley, while conceding 1. I expect both these teams to pour forward and have a real go at each other today.
I think there will be goals in this one but that is clearly widely expected, hence the low prices on the Overs and Both Teams To Score.
BETTING VERDICT
I think I'm going to put my faith in Norwich, who look a sure thing to score. The price on them to score at least 2 is a generous 2.62 at Bet365 and that is my recommendation.
The Pick :
Norwich Over 1.5 goals
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take Team Total Norwich - Over 1.5 goals @ 2.62 (Bet365)
