Norwich City vs West Brom result predicted by Supercomputer
West Brom will be desperate to return from Carrow Road with a win over Norwich City.
The Albion failed to collect all three points against Leicester City after conceding a last-minute equaliser at The Hawthorns last time out.
The draw with the Foxes means that the Baggies have failed to win in their last three Championship matches. This marks a stark contrast to the beginning of the season, when Ryan Mason was predicted to lead Albion to Premier League promotion.
But with the season still long and a lot of football to be played, a return to the top will be on the mind of the Baggies’ manager.
West Brom not favourites against Norwich City
According to Opta’s Supercomputer, West Brom are not the favourites to win the confrontation.
Indeed, the home side have a 41.1 per cent chance of victory while Albion have a 32.2 per cent shot at reigniting their title charge hopes.
There is a 26.7 per cent chance that the game ends level, in what seems like a blow for an already struggling West Brom side.
West Brom have an attacking problem
Josh Maja is predicted to replace Aune Heggebo in the starting line-up for the Baggies’ clash against Norwich.
This comes after Heggebo netted his first and only goal for the Albion in the Championship during West Brom’s narrow defeat to Middlesbrough.
As such, Albion’s new striker has been the scapegoat for their attacking woes for a while now. However, this seems to be a collective, rather than an individual issue.
- West Brom average four shots per game, but six shots off target per match
- Albion have averaged one goal per 90 since the start of the Championship
- The Baggies have netted just one goal from outside the box in the league
The biggest issue facing Mason is achieving clinical finishing in the final third from all his players. Once again, the Baggies manager coached a win against the Foxes, but his team failed to convert their chances.
There is an argument to be made that this could be a coaching issue. Especially, as it seems to be affecting most of his players. But luck and timing also have a role to play.
But with numerous games still to be played, Mason seems to be waiting for the moment when it all just clicks.
