THE PREDICTION
Norwich will again go hunting for their first win of the 2021-22 Premier League, but in Brighton they face a formidable opponent who are excellently coached by Graham Potter and will be well drilled on how to take advantage of the Canaries’ frailties. Away from home in particular, Brighton have been outstanding and with all their league goals scored so far on the road coming in the second half, this is a testament to their fitness and the tactical nous of Potter in regards to substitutions. With that in mind, Brighton have to be favoured for the three points here, although backing them via the draw no bet market ensures protection should this game finish in a third consecutive draw for the Seagulls.
Tip: BRIGHTON DRAW NO BET
