Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to win this match, but does appear clear is that the odds suggest it'll have 3 goals or less. Our statistical analysis draws the same conclusion. Cardiff and Norwich have taken part in a lot of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance statistics point towards more of the same. We feel confident predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday afternoon, and the bookies have it priced at 1.40.

Goal Statistics

Cardiff City's defensive record is very strong, Erol Bulut's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Norwich City makes sense in this context.
