Norwich vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
The final phase of the season begins in the Premier League and the time when decisions are made is approaching. Before the game Norwich vs. West Ham odds show that guests are slightly favored.
Nevertheless, both teams are in the relegation battle that has deteriorated to the snail race. While many saw Norwich right there, West Ham’s disappointing season comes as a surprise.
Therefore, the London club is all about getting away with a black eye and preparing for the new season. But that won’t work with the current score, West Ham still needs positive results – and wants to start in Norwich.
Norwich:
The games from Norwich after the restart are a reflection of the season so far. Coach Daniel Farke’s team often kept up well, but it was defensive dropouts and a lack of efficiency on the offense that caused nothing to get around in the end.
The shocking balance after the restart: five games, five defeats and only one goal scored. Even if nothing has been decided yet and it is still possible for Norwich to stay in the league, chances are very bad. A win against West Ham is now imperative.
And here is the next problem: Norwich gets even one point on average at home. That too is far too little, although the balance looks worse abroad.
Norwich played aggressively, aggressively, sometimes more defensively and with wait and see. Daniel Farke actually tried everything and kept whirling the team together. The coach is not to blame – and the team is not really. Because the quality is simply not there.
Against top opponents Norwich knew at least once here and there, in the direct duels the final consequence was often missing. Therefore, before the game, Norwich vs. West Ham our prediction that the guests will win the game. More tips on the Premier League can be found on a betting basis!
The distance to the saving bank is currently ten points for Norwich, which underlines the importance of a victory. Direct descent is already possible on this match day. To prevent this, Norwich can still fall back on the entire squad.
West Ham:
As mentioned at the beginning, the West Ham season is anything but enjoyable. With new signings like Haller or Fornals, the club wanted to attack above and at least play for the Europa League. But the bitter reality is relegation battle.
Even under David Moyes, who has been the head coach since the end of last year, not much improved. Inexplicable fluctuations in performance cause the coach on the sidelines to despair. After all, the game against Burnley on Wednesday was good despite the 0-1 defeat. Here West Ham showed a committed performance and should have taken at least one point.
Before the game Norwich vs. West Ham’s odds indicate that the guests have a good chance of winning a threesome. Against Norwich, the defensive could have the chance to stay clean. That last happened on New Year’s Day at 4-0 against Bournemouth.
After the restart, West Ham won a game – against Chelsea of all things. This showed West Ham’s strength according to standard situations. That can also be a factor against Norwich, because the hosts are very weak when the balls are at rest.
And with players like Diop, Antonio or Haller, West Ham could have just the right means to succeed. Another problem with the guests is that there is no reliable top scorer. Haller has seven goals and is already the best shooter, Snodgrass follows with five league goals. This is further proof that the potential is not being exploited.
Nevertheless, West Ham is the favorite in this game, as the striking defensive problems with the hosts have been a big factor throughout the season. A look at the Premier League table shows that a West Ham victory may be a deciding factor in the relegation battle.
