Liverpool vs Norwich Prediction & Betting tips
Liverpool and Norwich City start the new Premier League season on Friday evening around 8 p.m. The home team will compete again for the national championship next season, while PhD student Norwich City will probably have to fight relegation.
Liverpool:
At Liverpool they have already played their first official game of the 2019-2020 season. Last Sunday, Liverpool played at Wembley against Manchester City in the battle for the Community Shield. Liverpool had to take the first blow of the season in the national stadium of England, as Manchester City was too strong after penalties. Georginio Wijnaldum was the only player who missed a penalty and therefore the Liverpool of Jürgen Klopp had to miss out on the first prize of the new season. Nevertheless, the German manager was satisfied with the performance of his team and Klopp cannot be blamed – in the second half Liverpool was lord and master and it was a miracle that The Reds did not go beyond a 1-1 draw.
For a club like Liverpool, the Community Shield is of course not very important. More importantly, Liverpool wins the Premier League this season and defends the Champions League title. Last season, the Champions League was won by The Reds, but it also turned out that Liverpool’s selection is not broad enough to compete on two fronts. In the second half of the season, Liverpool really missed the Premier League, despite the fact that the gap with Manchester City was only one point. Unfortunately for Liverpool supporters, last season’s problem – Liverpool has much less scoring power in midfield than Manchester City – has still not been resolved and therefore The Reds are not the top favorite to win the Premier League this season. Star player Sadio Mané only returned to Liverpool on Monday after his vacation and his performance at the Africa Cup and the question is also whether the Senegalese is already fit enough for the first competition game of The Reds. James Milner recently suffered a muscle injury, but seems to be fit in time for the Premier League opening game.
Norwich City:
With five points ahead of Sheffield United, Norwich City became convincing champion in the Championship last season. After 34 of the 46 games, Norwich City came on top and did not give away that lead in the last twelve games. Especially the scoring ability of The Canaries stood out last season – Norwich City scored 93 times and was by far the most productive team in the Championship. Now for Norwich City, for the first time after three seasons, football at the highest English level is waiting and it can be a difficult season for The Canaries.
It can be a particularly difficult season if the players who were so important to Norwich City last season fall short for the Premier League, as the club from Eastern England has hardly strengthened itself. On the other hand, manager Daniel Farke has almost the same player group as last year, so The Canaries know what they can do to each other. With Tim Krul, a Dutchman is under contract on Carrow Road, but 31-year-old Hagenees do not seem to prefer Ralf Fährmann, who is rented from Schalke 04. With Christoph Zimmermann and Alexander Tettey, Norwich City has to miss two potential basic players, although Tettey kept the bank warm in the last months of the previous season. Central defender Timm Klose seems fit in time for the match with Liverpool.
