Norwich City vs. Arsenal Betting Tips
Norwich City has done little this season to suggest that it won’t go down 4-1 yet again on Saturday. The club has mainly secured its wins against lower tier teams, with its draw against Liverpool its best result against a top tier club.
Arsenal, however, look lean, mean and hungry coming into this fixture. While Norwich has the ability to crack the Gunners’ defence, its the Arsenal forwards that are likely to have the last say in this match.
Our Norwich City vs. Arsenal betting tip is therefore to back Arsenal to win the match, or else go with a back bet on over 2.75 goals being scored in the over/under markets.
