Both teams to score
Goal-scoring consistency runs deep with both teams scoring in most recent encounters, and the H2H average yields over 2.47 total goals per match.
Norwich’s last three Championship fixtures at home have seen both teams score. Boro have played one away game this season and beat Millwall 3-0.
With the two teams showing a knack for finding the net, backing both to score at 18/25 odds on Bet365 feels like a dependable selection.
Tip: Both teams to score@18/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Norwich and Middlesbrough score at least once in the match.
Over 2.5 goals
Though the last match between Norwich and Middlesbrough ended in a goalless draw, four of five of the last six meetings have seen at least three goals scored.
Combined, their H2H meetings average over 2.18 goals, with two of the last five games producing six-goal thrillers.
Middlesbrough also began the season with an away win to Millwall and will be full of confidence. With Norwich also beating Portsmouth away, the tendency that both sides will go for it is high.
Tip: Over 2.5 total goals@9/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if three or more goals are scored across both teams in the match.
Middlesbrough to win
Despite Norwich being slight favourites in many markets, Middlesbrough carry strong away form and recent dominance in this fixture.
Rob Edward’s men have won 3 of the last 5 encounters and are unbeaten in a number of visits. You’ll have to go back to 2020 for the last time Norwich City beat Middlesbrough.
With Norwich still searching for form at Carrow Road since last season, the value lies in backing Boro on the road.
Tip: Middlesbrough to win @ 21/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Middlesbrough beat Norwich regardless of the scoreline.
