Norwich City Preview – Can Smith start with a win?
Daniel Farke had a memorable time at Norwich City, guiding the club to two promotions to the Premier League. However, after a poor start to life back in the top tier, last season’s EFL Championship Manager of the Season was sacked. Dean Smith, who was relieved of his duties at Villa Park recently, is the new man at the helm.
Norwich picked up a much-needed win before the international break, which was their first Premier League victory since February 2020. Goals from Mathias Normann and Teemu Pukki earned the Canaries a 2-1 triumph at Brentford.
Despite their win last time out, Norwich remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table. They have taken five points from a possible 33, winning one, drawing two and losing eight.
Southampton Preview – Will the Saints stretch unbeaten run to five?
Southampton made a slow start to their season, kicking off with four draws and three defeats from their opening seven. However, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have really turned a corner of late and are now one of the form sides in the Premier League.
Southampton head to Norfolk on an impressive four-game undefeated run in the league, winning three and drawing one. Over the past month, the Saints have seen off Leeds United, Watford and Aston Villa and drew with Burnley.

Norwich City vs Southampton Betting Advice
In the 2019-20 Premier League season, Southampton did the double over Norwich, who were relegated. Efforts from Danny Ings and Ryan Bertrand were enough to give the Saints a 2-1 home victory. In the game at Carrow Road several months later, Southampton ran out easy 3-0 winners thanks to Ings, Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond.
Norwich have struggled in this fixture in recent times, winning only one of the previous seven league and cup meetings.
Key Facts – Norwich City vs Southampton Betting Tip

- Southampton have picked up ten points from the last 12 on offer
- The Saints have lost just one of their past seven meetings with the Canaries
Norwich will be buoyed after their first win and the players will want to impress the new boss, but in-form Southampton should get the job done at Carrow Road. All three of the Saints’ league wins have come with clean sheets – you can get 13/5 for the visitors to win to nil on Saturday.
Che Adams has scored three goals in his last four outings for club and country. The Scotland international is nicely priced at 11/2 to hit the opening goal of this game.
