Championship, played Friday, March 29th, 2024
Here is our Norwich v Plymouth tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Norwich home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Norwich City recorded an impressive 3-0 win away from home at Stoke City just before the international break to make it two wins on the trot for The Canaries following a previously comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of bottom club Rotherham United at Carrow Road, while Plymouth Argyle's winless run in the Championship was extended to four games after The Pilgrims were handed a 1-0 loss at home to Preston NE, leaving the visitors sitting in 18th place in the table and just two points above the relegation zone.
Norwich City still remain in sixth place in the Championship table and therefore in the last of the play-off places in the division ahead of this upcoming Easter schedule and David Wagner's side have seemingly hit form at just about the right time as the hosts have suffered just the single defeat out of their last nine games overall.
That loss came in the form of a 3-1 defeat away from home at Middlesbrough but having also collected six wins in the process which includes wins on home soil at Carrow Road against the likes of Coventry City, Watford, Cardiff City, Sunderland and Rotherham United respectively, Norwich City look in good shape to add to their points tally here on Good Friday.
By contrast, Plymouth Argyle slumped to a third defeat in four games in the Championship prior to the international break as they were dealt a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Preston NE which also edged the Pilgrims closer to the relegation battle below them as the visitors only possess a two-point cushion now above the bottom three clubs.
Previous defeats at the hands of Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday along with a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Blackburn Rovers have resulted in Ian Foster's side dropping down the Championship table to 18th place and the visitors face a tough trip to East Anglia to take on a confident and in-form Norwich City side this Friday.
The bigger picture shows Plymouth Argyle have managed to register just one win from their previous nine games in the English second tier, that being a surprising 2-0 win away at Middlesbrough but having also been handed six defeats within this period as well, Plymouth look to have their work cut out for them at Carrow Road.
Results away from home have been extremely disappointing as well for Plymouth Argyle who have managed to capture just two wins on the road all season along with suffering 10 defeats in their 19 away games to date.
Norwich City v Plymouth Argyle Verdict
Plymouth Argyle registered a comprehensive 6-2 win at home against Norwich City in the earlier corresponding fixture but we can expect Norwich City to avenge that loss here on Good Friday.
Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 2.00
Other side bets worth considering:
Norwich City win & BTTS No @ 2.62
Correct Score: Norwich City 2-0 @ 8.00
