Norwich vs Brighton Predictions

• Norwich have lost 16 of their last 17 top-flight games
• Brighton have won three of their four away games so far
• The Canaries have lost all three home matches this term

Canaries in trouble

Norwich picked up their first point of the season last time out but they still remain bottom of the pile. The Canaries are in a difficult position after an awful run of results in the Premier League, having lost 16 of their last 17 matches in the top flight.

That run must have those in charge of the club worrying, with Norwich looking destined for a return to the Championship. This weekend’s clash with Brighton could be another setback for Daniel Farke’s side, with another defeat likely to increase the pressure on the manager.

Brighton out to boost great start

It’s been a brilliant start to the season for Graham Potter, who has seen his men make good after struggling last term despite good performances. The Seagulls are currently flying high in sixth, only two points shy of top spot.

With just one defeat in nine matches Brighton are looking solid, while they should have enough to see off the Canaries as it stands. Potter’s side have proven to be good travellers so far this season, winning three of their opening four trips in all competitions.

Seagulls look the value

Brighton are a shade above evens here despite their great start and with Norwich’s form considered it is hard to see any reason to go against the visitors. Norwich have lost six of seven Premier League outings this term, including a 3-1 loss to Watford.

We’re backing Brighton to claim a victory, while Norwich have scored in their last two at home so a 2-1 victory is my correct score prediction. On top of that, Leandro Trossard is a great goalscorer option given that he found the net twice against Norwich two seasons ago.

Norwich possible starting line-up: Krul; Kabak, Hanley, Gibson; Aarons, Lees-Melou, Normann, McLean, Giannoulis; Sargent, Pukki

Brighton possible starting line-up: Sanchez; Duffy, Dunk, Burn; Veltman, Gross, Lallana, Molder, Cucurella; Maupay, Trossard
