West Ham United and Norwich City face off on Wednesday in an English Premier League showdown at London Stadium. When these two teams faced off in July of 2020 it was West Ham that came away with the 4-0 victory.
Norwich City has really struggled this year sitting in 20th place in the standings having picked up 10 points. Norwich City has lost five games in a row in the English Premier League, but they are coming off a win in their last game. In the last game against Charlton, Norwich City scored one goal and that was enough to come away with the victory and advance in the FA Cup. Norwich City has scored only eight goals this season while their defense has given up 42 goals. Teemu Pukku has been the top player for Norwich City scoring five goals. In this game, Norwich City is going to need to find a way to get the offense going.
On the other side of this matchup is West Ham United who sits in 5th place in the standings having picked up 34 points. West Ham has won three games in a row across all contests including beating Leeds United 2-0 in the last game. In the last game in the FA Cup against Leeds United, West Ham was able to score two goals and come away with the victory. West Ham United has scored 37 goals total while their defense has given up 27 goals total. Michael Antonio has been the top player for West Ham scoring eight goals and adding five assists. Said Benrahma has been the top player for West Ham United scoring five goals and adding four assists. In this game, if West Ham can score a few goals that should be enough to cruise to a victory.
Norwich City is going to struggle to score in this game, but I do believe they are going to play some solid defense, and goals are going to be hard to come by in this game. Look for a 1-0 or 2-0 type of game, and this game is going to go under the total.
