Stoke vs Norwich Prediction & Betting tips
In Stoke on Trent, Stoke City and Norwich meet for a game of forty-four. Stoke is sixteenth and finished when Norwich could be champion on Easter Monday.
Stoke City:
For Stoke City, the first season after the Premier League relegation ended in a major disappointment. With the budget of a Premier League club, Stoke City should have finished much higher than sixteenth place. It spent just under forty million euros last summer on players such as: Sam Clucas, James McClean, Tom Ince and Sam Vokes. Despite these reasonable club players, Stoke City never became a team and the sporting directors felt it was necessary to dismiss manager Gary Rowett at the end of January. Subsequently, his successor Nathan Jones hardly did any better.
On Good Friday, Stoke City suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough. An early goal from Britt Assomabalonga was enough for Boro for three points. Stoke City earned more but several times Darren Randolph turned out to be a major obstacle for the Stoke City attackers. Because of this result, Stoke City is sixteenth and will play three more games this season against: Norwich City, Milwall and Sheffield United. It can only play a significant role in the battle for promotion if it were to win against Norwich City or Sheffield United.
Norwich City:
Norwich City played a draw against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening. It quickly took the lead through a beautiful shovel in the far corner of Marco Stiepermann. He received the ball on a silver platter from Onel Hernandez. The feeling that dominated in the stands of Carrow Road was that it would be an easy evening. It just turned out differently. First Fernando Forestieri made a world goal and just after the break the hosts were allowed to feel robbed when Steven Fletcher handled the 1-2. In the seventh minute of injury time, Norwich City grabbed an important point when Mario Vrancic deposited the toy in the top corner out of reach of Cameron Dawson.
The third draw in a row has no direct consequences for the ranking. Sheffield United and Leeds United have also dropped points in recent weeks, so the lead on these two teams is still five points with three games to go. The title beckons but with the honorary metal in sight, the shivers also come. Monday afternoon the manager Daniel Farke can again call on star player Emiliano Buendia. The Argentinian was suspended for three games and coincidentally all of these games were played equally by Norwich City.
