Tottenham vs Norwich City Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Tottenham are at ½, a draw is at 10/3, and Norwich are at 5/1.

Tottenham and Jose Mourinho’s marriage is shaking, already. They have lost a third in a row following their loss at home to Wolves on Sunday. They had led twice, but squandered their opportunities to put away a very good team. That loss leaves them in seventh place, two off of United and Wolves now. They are still in the hunt for the Champions League, but the FA Cup surely cannot be something they can write off at this stage.

Norwich will come into this match with a bit of momentum. They have had a good season in terms of playing good football, but they have taken so few results that they remain bottom of the PL table despite their win. Even still, it will have given them a bit of hope of being able to stay up. You just can’t see them putting a ton of resources into this, but you never know how a team will approach it until kick off.

Spurs’ home record this term in all competitions has included 12 wins, two draws, and six losses thus far. Back-to-back defeats to RB Leipzig and to Wolves have come of late, their first consecutive losses at home this season. To be fair, however, all of the home losses, save one to Newcastle, have come against teams that are still in European tournaments. As for the Canaries, they just simply have not traveled well at all this term. They have 11 losses, three draws, and just three wins in all comps. Two of those wins came in this very tournament, though, so perhaps that is a good omen for them.

Betfair have no for both sides scoring at 2.38.

Ladbrokes have Spurs scoring first at 4/9.

Tottenham vs Norwich City Prediction

Spurs have two less days to recuperate when compared to their visitors, but they also have more quality to them and the will to win. The Canaries will be judged on the PL, and that should be their main concern and priority.

Correct Score Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Norwich

Tottenham Team News

Jose Mourinho is missing Harry Kane, Moussa Sissoko, Heung-Min Son, and Ryan Sessegnon due to injuries.

Tottenham Key Man

Spurs are light in the attack at the moment, as Mourinho continues to bemoan, and perhaps this is the time to give young Troy Parrott a chance. The Irishman is not the ideal man to select, sure, but they need an out-and-out striker. Might he prove to be the pick-me-up they so desperately crave? Out wide, Gedson Fernandes could be just the ticket that they need to get them firing. The Portuguese new signing is still easing his way into the fold, and games like this could be instrumental in making him an integral part of the side.

Tottenham Team Form

Tottenham have three losses and two wins in their last five matches:

2-3 home loss vs Wolves
2-1 loss at Chelsea
0-1 home loss vs RB Leipzig (UCL)
2-3 win at Aston Villa
3-2 home win vs Southampton (FA Cup)

Tottenham Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 3-4-3

Norwich Team News

Daniel Farke just saw his side give themselves a chance in the Premier League at survival, so you have to wonder how much he will sacrifice by trying to go for this. In terms of injuries, he is without Timm Klose, Christoph Zimmermann, Sam Byram, and Onel Hernandez.

Norwich Key Man

Farke may want to rest much of his side, but he doesn’t have a lot of full back depth, meaning that Jamal Lewis might be required here. He scored the winner on Friday night, a brilliant slashing, low drive to give them a chance to stay up. Such a huge goal, and he’ll keep Spurs on their toes. Going forward, Josip Drmic doesn’t get many chances with Pukki in the side, but he did score in the last round to help them get to this stage, showing he is capable of goals.

Norwich Team Form

Norwich have two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches:

1-0 home win vs Leicester
3-0 loss at Wolves
0-1 home loss vs Liverpool
0-0 draw at Newcastle
1-2 win at Burnley (FA Cup)

Norwich Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

There are a lot of situations when it comes to cup matches. Sometimes a struggling team can be aided by 'going for it' and winning in the cup. This, though, does not look like one of those times. Norwich have some wind at their backs for a change, and it would be a shame for them to let this get in their way of a potential resurrection in the Premier League. As such, Spurs have a golden opportunity here. They are at home and should have the will to win this one.
Norwich have won just three of 17 away matches this season, with two of those wins coming in this very competition.
