Craven Cottage Clash: Fulham and Norwich City’s Battle for EFL Cup Progression

Craven Cottage plays host to an intriguing EFL Cup third-round encounter as Fulham, currently 11th in the Premier League, clash with a Norwich City side that sits eighth in the Championship. With both teams eager to secure a spot in the last 16, the encounter promises much in terms of drama and excitement.

Team Analysis:

Fulham’s Season So Far:

Even without the talismanic Aleksandar Mitrovic, Marco Silva’s Fulham have made a promising start to their second season in the Premier League. Collecting eight points from six outings, Fulham have been a revelation, especially considering they’ve only found the back of the net five times.

An unexpected 3-0 home defeat against Brentford was a blip, but the Cottagers rebounded with a 1-0 win over Luton and a 0-0 stalemate against Crystal Palace. Their journey in the EFL Cup saw them edge past Tottenham Hotspur in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw.

Norwich’s Season So Far:

On the other hand, David Wagner’s Canaries seem to be finding life in the Championship a bit topsy-turvy. Two away 1-0 victories against Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City in the EFL Cup showcased their potential. However, their form took a hit with three defeats in their last four, culminating in a harrowing 6-2 drubbing by Plymouth Argyle.

Key Players and Tactics:

For Fulham, Alex Iwobi and Fode Ballo-Toure are eyeing their maiden starts. The likes of Calvin Bassey, Tom Cairney, Harry Wilson, and Carlos Vinicius are also likely to feature prominently in Silva’s lineup.

Norwich, in contrast, will likely introduce Adam Forshaw into midfield, with the attacking duo of Przemyslaw Placheta and Onel Hernandez set to cause trouble upfront. Sam McCullum and Liam Gibbs are tipped for returns, though Danny Batth remains ineligible having played for Sunderland earlier in the competition.

Stats Dive:

Fulham: In six Premier League matches, they average a [BettingTips4You Expert Rating] of 6.82. They’ve netted 5 times, conceding 10. Their ball possession stands at 50.3%, and they’ve managed three clean sheets. Fulham averages 9.3 shots per match with 4.2 corners.

Norwich City: The Canaries have a slightly superior [BettingTips4You Expert Rating] of 6.93 from eight Championship games. Their goal difference is slightly positive, scoring 17 and letting in 16. They boast a 52.3% possession rate and secure an average of 6.1 corners.

Predictions:

1. Match Outcome: Considering the home advantage and the quality in Fulham’s ranks eager to impress, backing the home side seems the most logical choice. Hence, a Fulham victory is predicted.
2. Correct Score Prediction: Given the recent forms of both teams and their scoring patterns, a 2-1 win for Fulham seems like a likely outcome.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Harry Wilson has been one of Fulham’s standout performers with a [BettingTips4You Expert Rating] of 6.90. Expect him to be among the goals. For Norwich, Adam Idah, with 4 goals in the Championship, could be the one to watch out for.
4. Corner Prediction: Fulham average 4.2 corners while Norwich edge slightly with 6.1. A combined corner count of 10-12 corners for this match seems plausible.
