Norwich City ran a 6-1 riot on Plymouth in their last game. Before the win, they have gone seven games without a win. However, they are unbeaten in 8 of their last nine home games. They sit 10th on the table with 22 points in 17 games, scoring 31 and conceding 25. Meanwhile, José Córdoba (muscle injury), Liam Gibbs (hamstring), Gabe Forsyth (knee injury), Josh Sargent (groin injury), and Marcelino Núñez (hip injury) are all out of this game.

Luton Town suffered a 3-0 loss to Leeds in their last game. They remain winless in 3 of their last five games and have lost their last five away games. They sit 16th on the table with 18 points in 17 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 29. Pressure continues to mount on Rob Edwards, sitting three points clear of the relegation zone. They conceded the second-most goals in the league. Meanwhile, Tom Lockyer (heart problems), Alfie Doughty (ankle injury), and Reuell Walters (broken foot) are out of this game.

Norwich — Angus Gunn, Jack Stacey, Shane Duffy, Callum Doyle, Ben Chrisene, Jakob Sörensen, Kenny McLean, Emiliano Marcondes, Amankwah Forson, Ante Crnac, Borja Sainz.

Luton — Thomas Kaminski, Teden Mengi, Mark McGuinness, Amarii Bell, Daiki Hashioka, Tom Krauß, Marvelous Nakamba, Jordan Clark, Victor Moses, Jacob Brown, Elijah Adebayo.

After going seven games without a win, Norwich returned to winning ways in their last match, but despite Luton’s poor run, I don’t think any of these teams can win this game. To be on the safer side, I expect a first-half draw in this clash. Also, I expect both sides to find the net. Six of the last eight games of Norwich have seen BTTS results. Moreover, five of the last seven games between these two sides have seen the BTTS result.
