Both clubs are in the lower part of the EFL Championship standings, but Norwich City have made a much better impression in 2026, which is why they are favourites for this match.
Norwich City
Home advantage also matters. At Carrow Road they are on a run of three wins, including a comeback victory over leaders Coventry City (2:1). Thanks to six wins in eight league matches this year, the hosts have climbed from the relegation zone (22nd place) up to 16th. Little by little they can be regarded as a mid-table side.
West Bromwich Albion
West Bromwich Albion are still struggling to score: they have failed to find the net in three matches in a row. They also have not won for eight league games. At least they have tightened up in defence: two goalless draws against Stoke City and Birmingham City lifted the side out of the relegation zone up to 20th place. In the third round of the FA Cup, the visitors got past Swansea City on penalties (3:2), despite the opponents creating five clear chances.
Norwich City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
Norwich City did not need any luck: in the round of 32 they comfortably beat Walsall from EFL League Two 5:1. They are also capable of getting past West Bromwich Albion without much difficulty. The visitors should still remember their heavy home defeat against Norwich City on matchday 28, when the hosts won 5:0 while generating only 1.08 xG. Another heavy defeat is not guaranteed, but another home win looks likely.
