What to expect

We expect about 2.1 goals from Norwich and 1.4 from Cardiff, so Norwich come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.6 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Norwich come into this on four straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 3.6 goals between the two (xG 2.1-1.5), landing about 63% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.

We put the chance of that landing at about 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.36, which works out at about 74 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Norwich have won four of their last five.
✓Cardiff have won two of their last five.
✓Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in four of the last five meetings.

Southampton are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.2-1.0), and we make them about 69% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
