Brentford News and Form
Brentford earned a point out at Birmingham on the weekend, which still leaves them winless on their travels this season. But they are back at home in midweek as they face Norwich. In their last home game, they collected a 1-0 win over Bolton which was just before Christmas. That victory moved them onto a W6 D2 L4 record this season at Griffin Park in the Championship.
That win over Bolton snapped a three-match losing streak they were on at home as well. In total Brentford have scored 22 home goals, so they have produced pretty well. 33% of their home games have gone over 3.5 goals and a quarter have made it over 4.5
The Bees have taken a clean sheet in a third of their home games. They have conceded just the one goal in total across their last three league games. They have hit the back of the net in each of their last five on home soil in the Championship.
Brentford’s record at half time in home matches this season is W4 D6 L2. The Bees have opened the scoring in eight of their twelve home games which is a strong stat. Brentford only fired a blank in the one home fixtures this season in the Championship.

Norwich News and Form
The Canaries suffered an upset at home on the weekend. They looked to be heading to three points against Derby as they were leading with five minutes to go. But then they collapsed and ended up losing 4-3. That snapped a huge twelve match undefeated streak of league form that they were on. Can they get back to winning ways?
They have tremendous away from going behind them as they are unbeaten in ten away from Carrow Road. They have only suffered the one defeat in their Championship away games this term (W6 D5 L1). Norwich have three clean sheets in their last five away games
The Canaries have netted 21 goals on the road, conceding only the 11 of them along the way. So that’s a good average of under a goal per game against them on their travels. Norwich have actually earned a clean sheet in 33% of their away games this season so they have been very strong.
Four of Norwich’s six away wins this season have been by a one-goal margin. In nine of their twelve away games this season, Norwich have been level at the half time break. The Canaries have netted in each of their last six league games. Of the away goals which they have scored, 71% of them have been in the second period of matches.

Norwich to win: The Canaries can be backed to go and get themselves back into winning ways. Brentford are not a huge threat and there is still nothing wrong with Norwich’s output in front of goal. A low-scoring away win looks a good proposition.
