Crystal Palace vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips (27 August)

If there is a PL team to play at the start of the season, it is Crystal Palace who lost their first two days of the championship against opponents within their reach like Brentford during J1 2-1 and West Ham last weekend 0-2. The aftermath of Olise is a slight headache for the Eagles who, for the moment, do not have the necessary solutions to exist in this new Premier League campaign. For Norwich, we know the level of the 1st division well having played there. for a few seasons all the same.

However, this is the 3rd year in a row that the Norfolk residents will play in the 2nd division this season, the Championship. Like Palace, Norwich started its new championship campaign at a slow trot having not won a single of its three matches for a record of two draws against Blackburn 2-2 and Sheffield 1-1 and a defeat during the 1st day against the promoted, Oxford United 2-0. Note that the evening visitors have already participated in a cup round, and they struggled against Stevenage in an XXL difficulty 4-3.

For Palace, we will have to start the season with a victory at some point and that could be an option tonight. However, the Brazilian Matheus Franca remains injured and probably OUT like Hughes, who played a lot of minutes in preparation. Note that Joachim Andersen and Andre Ayew did not play against West Ham since they left very recently (transfer to Leicester for the former Marseille player). To stay with the wave of departures, how can we not mention the talented Olise (Bayern), the defender Riedewald (Antwerp), and the young midfielder Rak-Sakyi (Sheffield, loan). On the other hand, note the recruitment of Chadi Riad (Betis), Ismaïla Sarr (OM) and Kamada (Lazio Rome, free of any contract).

Opposite, the Canaries will travel without Ashley Barnes (6 goals, 5 assists last season) who has remained injured since the start of the season, without Fassnacht (injured) and without Sorensen (14 appearances in the Championship last year). For the rest, the group will a priori be complete with at the head of the gondola, Sargent (16 pawns last year) already author of 2 goals in 3 championship matches and above all author of 2 goals in his last 2 matches. Summoned to Panama for the Copa America, Jose Cordoba signed this summer like the young 18-year-old striker, Oscar Schwartau (Brondby), Ante Crnac (Rakow), without forgetting Forson (21 years old from Salzburg ), and defender Chrisene (Aston Villa). On the other hand, we will note the crucial departure of Gabriel Sara (13 goals, 12 assists last season in the league) who caught the eye of Galatasaray or that recently of Jonathan Rowe (12 goals, 2 assists) to OM .
