THE PREDICTION
After their 2-0 defeat away to Swansea last time out, Norwich have been knocked off the top of the Championship table by Brentford and now face a huge fight to even remain in the top two, with Swansea two points behind them with a game in hand. Daniel Farke’s men must bounce back at home to Stoke, who have picked up just win in their last 14 games in all competitions. As expected from a Michael O’Neill managed side, the visitors will prioritise defence and will look to frustrate Norwich, which should prove effective against a side who have not scored in their last four fixtures. Despite being big underdogs here, the Potters certainly have the defensive grit within their squad to keep the hosts out and for that reason, not only should under 2.5 goals scored be look at here, but Stoke double chance may also prove a smart play.
