Newcastle -Norwich Tip
Newcastle United have just six points on their account after 13 matchdays and currently occupy last place in the Premier League table with this yield. Until a few weeks ago, the visitors from Norwich were still in this position. In the last few games, however, the promoted team has shown consistent performances for the first time this season and has moved up to penultimate place. With a win on Tuesday, the Canaries could move up another place in the table and even catch up with mid-table. Newcastle would only overtake their upcoming opponents with their first win.
Newcastle Form & Balance Check
A consortium from Saudi Arabia around Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took over Premier League club Newcastle United a few months ago and wants to play with the club for all national and European titles within a few years. In the short term, however, the Magpies should concentrate on avoiding relegation this season, which would make the whole project much more complicated. Currently, the Magpies are in last place in the table with six points from 13 games. The first win of the current season is still a long time coming.
Morale still not down
At least the results have been somewhat uphill lately. Within the last five matches, Newcastle have only lost against Chelsea FC (0:3) and Arsenal FC (2:0). The remaining three matches at Crystal Palace (1-1) and Brighton & Hove (1-1) and at home against Brentford (3-3) all ended in a draw. For Newcastle, these were points draws number four, five and six this season. It is striking that the league bottom team was behind in all three draws before equalising at the end of the game. The morale in the team seems to be right despite the poor start to the season.
Newcastle facts & analysis
– 6 points after 13 games.
– Last lost 2-0 against Arsenal
– Drawn 3 of their last 5 games
– Not yet won a single league game
Norwich form & balance check
The visitors from Norwich have started the current season even worse than their upcoming opponents from Newcastle. The first six matches were all lost, before the first two points could be earned on matchday 7 and 8 with two goalless draws. This was followed by two defeats at Chelsea FC (7:0) and against Leeds United (1:2), before things really started to go well for the Canaries in recent weeks.
Canaries with rising form curve
On Matchday 11, Norwich City finally got their first win of the season at Brentford FC (1-2). A week later, at home against Southampton FC, the Canaries even managed to turn a 0:1 deficit into a 2-1 home win. Last Saturday against Wolverhampton (0-0), the Canaries did not achieve their third success in a row, but Dean Smith’s team remained unbeaten for the third time in a row. This series is now to be continued at the bottom of the table.
Norwich Facts & Analysis
9 points from 13 games
– Last played 0-0 against Wolverhampton
– Last picked up 7 points out of 9
– Only 2 goals conceded in last 3 games
Predicted line-up – last updated 29 Nov 2021
Matt Richie and Jamaal Lascelles will miss the game due to a yellow suspension. Central defender Lascelles should be replaced by Ciaren Clark. Left-back Ritchie could be replaced by Jamal Lewis. Apart from that, we don’t expect any other changes.
On the visitors’ side, ex-Schalker Ozan Kabak (flu infection) and Rocky Bushiri (meniscus injury) are missing. Nevertheless, the starting line-up could remain unchanged. The two ex-Bremen Rashica and Sargent should once again form the wing line-up
