Why English Premier League Games Are Very Difficult To Predict

3y ago

The visitors may not be the same scintillating side that took the Premier League by storm last season but are certainly not afar off. Wins have been difficult for these cluster of players to string up so far this campaign.

However, they have admitted defeat just thrice all season, showing they still have that reluctance to lose games. Nuno Espirito Santos deserves a pat on the back for the impressive work he has put in at the club till date.

In this fixture against relegation-threatened Norwich City, the Wolves are expected to prove too hot for the hosts to handle. A thrilling encounter on the cards, the visiting contingent should make a clean sweep in this one.

Norwich City vs Wolves Team News

Norwich City are on cloud-9 at the moment, brimming with confidence after holding Leicester City to a hard-fought one-all draw last time out at the King Power Stadium. That draw brought the Foxes’ long winning streak to an abrupt end, all thanks to the Canaries.

Now, these set of players can head into this fixture against Wolves, knowing that they have every chance of salvaging something meaningful in front of the home crowd, having done the same against an even tougher opponent.

Wolves, on the other hand, were at the receiving end of a heartbreaking 2-1 loss at the hands of high-flying Tottenham Hotspur. Despite finding a route back into the game after going behind very early in the game, they were condemned to defeat by a dying minute winner from the visitors.

The cameras spotted Nuno Espirito Santos scratching his head as Vertonghen stole all three points from his side just before the final whistle. The atmosphere around the stadium went cold as an enthusiastic New England audience.

This weekend, experience in the English top-flight is likely to come into play. As such, the visiting contingent have the upper hand, having taken the Premier League by storm ever since gaining promotion at the end of the 2017/2018 season.

Following their promotion, they tore it apart in the top-flight with some exemplary performances against some of the best teams in the league. The media have taken it upon themselves to land them the nickname, “the Giant Killers”.

This campaign, they have not been afar off their exploits of the previous season, showing grit and determination on the pitch. On the road, they have recorded two losses all season, and just one in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Norwich have failed to adapt to the weekly hustles and bustles of the Premier League since gaining promotion. With a record of two wins from their previous sixteen games, and three separate three-game losing streaks, the Canaries are easily overwhelming favourites to be consigned to Championship football come the end of the season.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Norwich: Timm Klose, Josip Drmic, Ben Godfrey.

Wolves: Willy Boly, Morgan Gibbs-White.

Norwich vs Wolves Predictions

Wolves have maintained an unbeaten status against this opposition in the past two years while the hosts have a single victory of note in h2h encounters against this foe over the last four years.

However, Nuno Santos’ side have struggled to keep clean sheets this campaign and with the away handicap to deal with, expect Norwich to breach the Wanderers at least once in this fixture.

With both teams expected to score, Wolverhampton Wanderers should have enough about themselves to see off the challenge of Norwich City. The Canaries will be required to produce a Christmas miracle to spring up an upset in this game.
