Norwich City vs Stoke City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Stoke City have won two of their last three EFL Championship matches.

Norwich City are all set to lock horns with Stoke City in match week 34 of the EFL Championship 2024-25 edition. The Canaries have found themselves in the 12th spot in the league after their average performances this season. They have won 11 games in 33 league matches. The Potters on the other hand have shown below-average performances and because of this, they are in 19th place.

Norwich City will be at home which will give them some advantage. They managed to grab a single point in their last league match after they held Hull City to a draw. It was a close game and the Canaries went on to net a goal in the second half which led them to a draw and they dropped a couple of points. A win in their upcoming league clash might take them to the ninth place.

Stoke City will be under some pressure as it is an away game for them. But they secured a win in their previous league encounter against Swansea. Their inconsistent performances have not let them excel this season but they will be looking to get to a two-match winning streak. With a win, they can jump up a couple of spots in the table.

Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City)

The South Korea national football team player is a decent addition to Stoke City.
