In fact, Norwich finished top of the league, subsequently gaining automatic promotion to the Premier League. However, following their promotion, this side have found it very difficult to adapt to English top-flight football. They have struggled to get their mitts about the weekly hassles of the division.

Rooted to the bottom of the standings, the Canaries look destined for relegation. With relegation looming large for Farke’s side, they will be hoping for some form of divine rejuvenation to get them out of that dreaded drop-zone.

Now, with a game against fellow strugglers Southampton on the horizon, Daniel Farke will be spurring his side on to victory against the Saints – one that could potentially trigger a revival. A positive result in this fixture for the Canaries will likely breathe new life into their faltering campaign.

Norwich vs Southampton Team News

Easily the worst side in the league, Norwich City sit bottom of the standings with more than half of the season flown by. They have garnered a measly 21 points from 29 games and are six points away from the safe-zone. It will take a miracle-of -sorts to retain their top-flight status come the end of the season.
Prior to the COVID-19 break, they were in action against Europa League faithful Sheffield United and were expected to be comprehensively defeated. The Canaries didn’t spring up any surprises as they were outclassed and beaten by their superior counterparts.

Sharp’s 36^th minute effort proved to be the only difference between the two sides at full-time as Norwich were forced home empty-handed. The Blades will be kicking themselves for not grabbing more goals, given they were the much better side throughout the game.

Southampton, on the other hand, were looking to clinch maximum points to steer clear of the drop-zone when they played host to Newcastle United last time out. They looked pretty good, matching the Magpies brilliantly until Djenepo was given his marching orders by the referee.

Things went south from there on, as the visitors took full control of the game. The winner finally came in the 79^th minute when Saint-Maximin created some space to fire the ball into the back of the net. Ultimately, Southampton headed home empty-handed with a 0-1 defeat.

With relegation turning into a reality for the Canaries, they improved performance levels over their recent games. They are unbeaten in four of their last five games, two of which ended in comprehensive victories. The highlight of their campaign so far was the surprise 1-0 win over second-placed Leicester City earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, Southampton have struggled to keep up with pre-season expectations. They are languishing in 14^th on the log, and have lost four of their preceding five league games. With only seven points separating them from 18^th-placed Bournemouth, Hasenhuttl’s men are not completely out of the relegation picture.

Norwich vs Southampton Predictions

This Friday will see two strugglers square-off at Carrow Road in what is expected to be a fiercely-contested affair in Norfolk. Southampton narrowly edged out Norwich 2-1 in the reverse fixture with Danny Ings and Ryan Bertrand getting on the scoresheet.

As tempted as we are to go for an outright Southampton win, the home side cannot be treated with a wave of the hand. Going by their recent league records, they are a huge force to reckon with. As such, the safest punt would be a double chance backing Norwich City for the win.
