Wolves v Norwich Betting Preview
These two were far apart in the English tiers last season, but now they come together for their season opener in the Championship. Norwich of course took a costly tumble from the Premier League, while Wolves won promotion up from League One. Who will adapt the best on Sunday in the hunt for an early three points?
Wolves v Norwich Betting Tips
Wolves racked up 103 points in total last term, in a pretty dominant season. Can they carry that over to life in the Championship? They simply took an impressive attacking approach to things last season as well, and netted 89 goals for themselves. They will be harder to come by in the Championship of course. Wolves haven’t won any of their last five league matches against Norwich, drawing three and losing two, so that’s not on their side. The last time they met was back in the 2011/12 Premier League, the Canaries taking a 2-1 win at Carrow Road.
But Wolves are unbeaten in their last thirteen home games as Norwich. Nouha Dicko, Leon Clarke and Bakary Sako are all 2/1 shots in the anytime goalscorer market for Wolves. They will just have to be careful at the back, because in their last four league meetings with Norwich, Wolves have conceded two or more goals in each, shipping a total of twelve goals in those four matches. But with Norwich coming down from the top flight, it is likely that the forward momentum is going to be with Wolves.
Norwich haven’t won any of their last 11 opening matches to a new season, losing five and drawing six. Not quick starters. No-one scored more league goals for Norwich in the top flight last season than Gary Hooper did, and he only netted half a dozen. Hooper is a 2/1 shot alongside Lewis Grabban in the anytime goalscorer market for the Canaries. Will their goal scoring woes carry over into this season?
They were also poor travellers last season were Norwich, picking up a Premier League low of just nine away points in the entire season, winning just the two games. The Canaries are running as 10/1 shots to win the Championship this season, with Wolves out at double that price. But you have two contrasting sides here, and with the attacking minded one being at home, will that be enough to sway the backing?

It’s early out the gates and attacking impetus is going to come from Wolves. Molineux is going to be rocking for their opener on Sunday and Norwich may just get overwhelmed a bit. Would expect a low scoring affair, but would simply bank on the home side to find the win at a13/10 with Bet365.
