Expert analysis

Sheffield United and Norwich Likely to Trade Goals

Sheffield United have posted 1.3 goals scored and one conceded per match this season while holding a recent form of DDDW. Norwich average the same scoring rate but allow 1.8 goals per game and show an away attack that has produced zero goals in its latest outing. Their last nine meetings produced at least two goals in most cases with Sheffield United claiming four wins against one defeat for Norwich. Both sides record only 25 percent of games exceeding 2.5 goals yet their combined expected output points to an open first half. Injuries to Sheffield United’s H. Burrows and T. Chong plus Norwich’s A. Ahmed and M. Topic thin the midfield options and reduce defensive cover. Norwich’s zero clean sheets this campaign further opens the door for an early goal at either end.
