Prediction

Everton 2, Norwich City 1

Money line (ML)

BET on EVERTON (-165) as, even at this price, there’s decent value. Everton has looked competent in all but one match.

Aside from the lost to Aston Villa, in which Everton committed an own goal, it has given up just 4 goals, while scoring 10 goals in the other four games. This is also, in part, about how poorly Norwich has looked, scoring just 2 goals and allowing 14 through five games.

That just can’t be overlooked when taking on a side with the sixth-most goals in the EPL through five weeks. It would be shocking if Everton didn’t come out on top. Although it’s not great, the value is still there to put a unit on Everton.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-120) as the best value on the total. Either 2-1 or 3-0, Everton should get on the board and score at least 1 more than Norwich. Calvert-Lewin and Gray both have 3 goals on the season.

Each team has averaged more than 3 goals per game for themselves and their opponent. With that in mind, Over 2.5 is a good value.

Norwich City at Arsenal odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Norwich City at Arsenal odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On an action-packed Saturday in the EPL, Arsenal (0 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Norwich City (0-3-0). The match is set to kickoff at 10 a.m. ET at Emirates Stadium. Below, we preview the Norwich City vs. Arsenal odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal has been one of the most disappointing teams so far this season. It has been destroyed multiple times, including a 5-0 loss to Manchester City last time out.

The Gunners lost by a combined 9-0, including the beatdown by the powerful Man City. Their first match against Brentford, a 2-0 loss, had many key players out due to COVID-19.

Norwich has a similar story. Man City also beat Norwich 5-0. It at least scored in a 2-1 loss to Leicester City two weekends ago. This will be a match of the two lowest-ranked teams in the EPL.

Prediction

Arsenal 3, Norwich City 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to ARSENAL (-210) as it’s the more talented side. After not being at full strength for its first match, Arsenal took on Chelsea, then Man City.

Those are tough back-to-back matches, and the final score wasn’t overly shocking. With F Alexandre Lacazette and F Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal is far too skilled not to score on Norwich.

The value at -210 isn’t really there but this is, by far, the only way to play the money line.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-155) as Norwich is coming off a strong performance against West Ham. While it scored just once, Norwich was able to put 14 shots up with four being on target.

F Teemu Pukki and USMNT F Josh Sargent lead the Norwich attack and the duo should look to get on the board as neither has scored so far this season.

As both teams have given up big performances to opponents, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Over smash in this one. The skilled attackers and weak defenses are both going to be in action.

English Premier League: Leicester City at Norwich City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Leicester City at Norwich City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the third weekend of EPL action, Norwich City (0 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) visits Leicester City (1-1-0). The match will be held at Carrow Road in Norwich, England and is set to kick off Saturday at 10 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Leicester City vs. Norwich City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Norwich City is coming off a thrilling 6-0 win over Bournemouth in second-round play of the EFL Cup. However, its luck aside from that has not been great as it lost to Manchester City and Liverpool by a combined 8-0 in EPL play. Norwich City certainly isn’t the worst team in the league but currently sits at the bottom of the table.

It’ll be taking on a Leicester City side that had a first-half red card in its 4-1 loss to West Ham United. Despite having its shots almost doubled, Leicester City defeated Wolverhampton 1-0 in the league’s opening weekend.

Prediction

Leicester City 2, Norwich City 0

Money line (ML)

BET on LEICESTER CITY (-115) as Norwich clearly isn’t up to the EPL pace yet. Having recently been promoted back to England’s top soccer league, Norwich has looked a step behind.

While it is tough to gauge its success as it has played a few of the top teams, Leicester is among the best in the league as well having finished fifth last season.

Simply put, Leicester is the better side and should come out on top.

I also think ONE TEAM NOT TO SCORE (+110) is a good bet. Norwich has yet to score this season while Leicester has scored just 1 goal in each showing.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+115) given the solid value and both sides offensive shortcomings. The two sides have combined to play four games this season yet have combined for only 2 goals.

While Norwich blasted Bournemouth, there’s no denying American F Josh Sargent may struggle against the better Leicester defense. Three of West Ham’s goals came after Leicester was awarded a red card.

Expect the defense to step up. Betting on fewer than 3 goals to be scored, especially as Leicester hasn’t shown much offensively and the bet is a plus-money value, is worth the risk.

Norwich City at Manchester City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Norwich City at Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the second week of English Premier League action, Norwich City (0 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws) travels to take on Manchester City (0-1-0) Saturday. The match is set to kick off at 10 a.m. ET at Etihad Stadium. Below, we preview the Norwich City vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After a disappointing 1-0 loss to Tottenham to kick the season off, Man City, who easily won the English Premier League last year, will look to rebound. It’ll be on M Kevin de Bruyne and newcomer M Jack Grealish to make sure the team doesn’t drop yet another match.

They’ll be taking on Norwich City, who is coming off a 3-0 loss to Liverpool. Norwich did have more possession and put up 14 shots, so they are a competent side.

However, they’ll be drastically outmanned against the star-studded Man City, and on the road, the odds show just how big of underdogs they’ll be.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Norwich City 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on Manchester City as the value just isn’t there.

Teams have off days and betting the -900 isn’t worth the risk. However, there are good bets in this lopsided match. One of the best values is Man City MF ILKAY GUNDOGAN (+105) to score.

He had his best EPL season last year with 13 goals and should benefit from the attacking prowess and distribution of Grealish and de Bruyne.

Given that he should get quite a bit of time and the Norwich City defense is less than ideal, the value on him putting one in the back of the net is a bet to take.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (-110) as the best value in this match. Manchester City easily led the league with 83 goals last season.

While they don’t have a true 9, they do have a plethora of offensive-minded midfielders that should be able to push the pace. Man City had 83 goals in 38 matches last season. Yet, at the same time, they looked vulnerable against Tottenham when being counterattacked.

On the other side of the ball, Norwich City was able to put pressure on Liverpool. The match felt closer than 3-0 as a second-half onslaught hurt Norwich. Against a better attack in Man City, this could easily get out of hand.
