Wolverhampton Wanderers to continue top-six form against Norwich City
Norwich City vs Wolverhampton - 27/11/2021
3465
Wolverhampton Wanderers are unbeaten in five of their last six Premier League matches ahead of Saturday’s trip to Carrow Road. Bruno Lage’s team are coming off of a 1-0 home win against West Ham and go into matchday 13 in sixth place.
Norwich City are on a two-match winning streak and showing signs of life. Dean Smith’s first match as manager was a success as the Canaries defeated Southampton 2-0 at Carrow Road. Smith has the opportunity to take Norwich City to a third straight win in the league.
History does not bode well for Norwich City on Saturday in their bid to win a third consecutive match in the league. Wolverhampton Wanderers are unbeaten in four straight games against Norwich City with three of those matches finishing as wins.
Wolves are second in the current Premier League form table having taken 13 points from the last 18 on offer in the league. The Old Gold outscored their last six opponents 9-7.
Norwich City are improving as they took eight points from their last 18 available. Despite their points improvement, Norwich City were outscored 11-5 over the course of their last six matches.
Smith goes into matchday 13 with just two players on the Norwich City injury list. Sam Byram and Christoph Zimmermann are both major doubts to play due to injuries.
The good news for Lage is that Wolves have no new injuries. He does have four long-term injured players sitting out the match. Jonny Otto, Pedro Neto, Yerson Mosquera, and Hugo Bueno will continue to sit out matches for the foreseeable future.
Wolverhampton striker Raul Jimenez has only scored three Premier League goals in 12 appearances. However, he is showing signs of returning to the form we saw before last season’s skull fracture injury.
Jimenez has two goals in his last three appearances as Wolves defeated Everton and West Ham. Fellow striker Hwang Hee-Chan has provided competition for the starting striker position. Hwang has four goals in nine appearances and could start alongside Jimenez.
Teemu Pukki will likely lead the line for Norwich City. He bagged a goal on matchday 12 versus Southampton.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have a strong historical record against Norwich City, posting three wins and a draw from their last four matches. Wolves have the Premier League’s fourth-best defensive record with just 12 goals conceded.
Lage should lead Wolves to a second straight win in the Premier League as the team’s defence shines. Wolverhampton should get a win to nil and potentially move into the top five.
