Norwich vs Derby Prediction & Betting tips
Norwich City will face a weak Derby County Saturday afternoon. The last showdown was won by Derby in 2018 (3-4). Will Norwich City take the three points this time?
Norwich City:
In an exciting game against fellow relegant Bournemouth, Norwich City suffered its first defeat of this Championship season. With Tim Krul on target, The Canaries lost 0-1 to Bournemouth. Norwich had much more possession than the home team, but was unable to finish the chances in Southern England. A possible penalty was also easily dismissed twice by referee James Linington. Daniel Farke saw that his team was looking for a point until the end: “I had the feeling that we were tied in the first half. I felt that a draw was deserved after the first 45 minutes. In the second half there was only one team that dominated the game. Unfortunately, it was not possible to convert this into a result. It is difficult to play against a five-man defense and a block of three midfielders for that. ”
Ben Godfrey appears to be leaving Carrow Road in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. Everton is very interested in the center-back. The 22-year-old Godfrey has been playing for The Canaries since 2016 and still has an ongoing contract until 2023. Godfrey has played all league matches so far this season. Everton will have to pay more than £ 20 million to bring Godfrey to Goodison Park. Defender Max Aarons is also in the interest of major clubs, including Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona. For the time being, Norwich does not seem to be open to a departure from Aarons.
Derby County:
The Derby County leak is not over yet. The home game against Blackburn Rovers was also dramatically lost. After fifteen minutes, the formation of Phillip Cocu was 3-0 behind in the silent Pride Park Stadium. Nota bene Derby County started the game the strongest. Mike te Wierik was in the starting line-up, just like Wayne Rooney and newcomer Kamil Jóźwiak. The Rams were not close to a possible comeback after the first fifteen minutes. The game got better, but Derby was unable to score. Blackburn added a fourth goal to the score fifteen minutes before the end (0-4).
Cocu was clear: “This is unacceptable. Especially the first half was very bad. Our attitude was better in the second half, which immediately gave us more opportunities. I see a link between scoring little and taking a lot of goals. That link is the motivation with which you enter a competition. We simply cannot expect to win a match with nice combinations. It must be a combination of quality and commitment. Three goals in five minutes is unbelievable. This is going to be a very difficult season if we only start playing seriously after three goals. We can’t even think about the play-offs at the moment. ”
