Arsenal v Norwich Betting Preview – EFL Cup 24th October 7.45pm

Arsenal will probably be targeting the EFL Cup as a genuine piece of silverware for themselves this season. They seem to be efficient enough on home soil to be able to back a place in the quarter finals, but they will get a test against Championship side Norwich who have defensively been rock solid lately. Will the Canaries be able to frustrate the Gunners at the Emirates?

This should be a manageable home fixture for Arsenal in the EFL Cup in midweek. They genuinely need to make a run at the silverware because getting any from anywhere else than the domestic cups looks a tough thing. Arsenal are on a six match winning streak at home and during that run of matches, they have only conceded the one goal. Under 2.5 goals at Bet Victor for a price of 12/5 is worth a flutter considering that they are taking on a Norwich side who are in excellent defensive form. The Gunners beat Doncaster 1-0 in the last round at the Emirates with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott starting for them. They will be strong enough for this one and Giroud is a good 3/1 first goalscorer at Bet Victor to consider. Arsenal claimed 1-0 victory over Norwich the last time they hosted them and an Arsenal 1-0 correct score at Bet Victor fetches a price of 11/1 with the 2-0 at 8/1. Norwich are a very good defensive side, but lack scoring power and Arsenal to win to nil is a great 6/4 option.

So it has been good form recently from Norwich in the second tier and on the weekend they took a 1-0 win at Ipswich in the East Anglian derby. Daniel Farke has them really well organised and they are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions now and they have picked up a total of six clean sheets in those nine games, conceding just three goals in total. So it’s great defensive stuff from them and they are carrying away form as well. They have won each of their last five road games in all competitions, with three clean sheets. So far in the EFL Cup, this season Norwich have gotten past Swindon, Charlton and Brentford, scoring at least three goals in each of those games. However, the Canaries have only scored more than one goal in a match, twice in their last nine games. They have scored only six goals in their last seven Championship fixtures and that lack of scoring power may hurt them here. Still, they could make life difficult for the Gunners in the early stages and a Draw/Arsenal half time/full time bet at Bet Victor is a good 3/1 punt.

Arsenal v Norwich EFL Cup Predictions

Arsenal to win: Norwich don’t have the firepower in them to really do any damage to Arsenal and therefore the home side should be collecting the win. Norwich are terrific at the back though so look under 2.5 goals with a home win.
