- Odds: Norwich City 5/4* – Draw 9/4* – West Bromwich Albion 2/1*
Playoff-chasing West Bromwich Albion travel to Carrow Road on March 29th to take on Norwich City, with the Canaries sitting in mid-table. Norwich still have an outside chance of securing a playoff spot at the end of this campaign, but they must beat West Brom to keep up the pressure on the teams above them.
The Baggies have been in reasonable form since Tony Mowbray returned to the club, and their head coach will be keen to compete in the end-of-season showdown to return West Brom to the big time after a few seasons in England’s second tier.

Norwich City v West Bromwich Albion Betting Tips
- Norwich City have struggled recently, with only one win in their last five English Championship games and successive defeats in their previous two outings. On the other hand, Albion are unbeaten in five and have drawn their last two fixtures. Though Norwich have home advantage, we fancy a draw or even a West Brom win in this match, given the contrasting recent form of the two teams.
- This is a decent fixture to include in a both teams to score accumulator. In fact, both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings between Norwich and West Brom in the English Championship. When the teams last met in November 2024, they shared four goals in a pulsating 2-2 draw.
- Three of the last six Championship games between Norwich and West Brom have ended in a draw. Attractively priced at 9/4*, the draw also looks a good bet ahead of this fixture.

Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion have met 69 times since their first clash in February 1907. On that day, Albion won 1-0 in the FA Cup. Norwich registered their first win over West Brom 65 years later, albeit in only their fifth-ever meeting.
West Brom have the upper hand over Norwich, winning 29 of their fixtures. Norwich have beaten the Baggies 22 times, and there have been 18 draws between the teams.
In more recent history, West Brom have been the better team. Since their last meeting in the Premier League in 2016, Norwich have only beaten West Brom once – 2-0 at Carrow Road in January 2024. West Brom have won three of the seven clashes, and there have been three draws.
The most exciting game between these teams was Carrow Road in August 2018, when West Brom won 4-3 in a memorable clash.
Norwich City Man to Watch: Borja Sainz
Despite his six-match suspension, Borja Sainz still tops the goalscoring charts for Norwich City in the EFL Championship. The Spaniard has 17 goals for his club this term and is one of the most accomplished strikers in the league. At the time of writing, he is the league’s top scorer and will have his sights set on the Golden Boot at the end of the campaign.
American international Josh Sargent has also enjoyed a productive season at Carrow Road, scoring 12 goals in 24 appearances. Both forwards will look to fire their team to three points against West Brom.
West Bromwich Albion Man to Watch: Alex Mowatt
Albion’s top scorer, Josh Maja, has been out for several weeks, and the Baggies have looked light up top since his injury. They’ve only scored more than once in one of their last six matches, highlighting how much they miss their Nigerian talisman.
Still, former Leeds United midfielder Alex Mowatt has been one of West Brom’s best and most consistent performers this season, chipping in with six goals in his 35 matches. The industrious, hard-working midfielder is central to the Baggies’ system and will likely play a key role at Carrow Road.
