As part of one of the matches of the English Championship, the players of Totteham and Norwich will fight in a face-to-face duel. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this game.
Tottenham
The London team is on the sixth line in the Premier League standings. Spurs can potentially count on fourth place, because with a goal in reserve, they are two points behind the LCH zone. Under Conte's leadership, Spurs have already played five matches, and so far the impressions of the team's game are very mixed. The Italian, like his predecessors, does not yet understand what to do with such a team. On the one hand, there is a good game with Leeds and a victory, on the other hand, there are unpleasant impressions from the defeat in the match with Mura, as well as a draw with Everton, where the Londoners, to put it mildly, did not shine. But in the last round we managed to beat Brentford with a score of 2:0.
Norwich
As for the Canaries, they are in the penultimate place in the standings and are only three points ahead of Newcastle. At the beginning of December, the team changed the head coach, and together with Farke, the team was headed by Smith. Interestingly, it happened right after the away win over Brentford. Apparently, the decision to exclude the coach from the team was made before the game. It is unlikely that club bosses regret this. Under Smith, Norwich was transformed. He won against Southampton and scored points as a result of draws with Wolverhampton and Newcastle.
