Match preview

Stoke City enter matchday four in difficult form, sitting at the foot of the Championship table after three consecutive defeats to start the league campaign. The Potters have conceded nine goals across their three league fixtures, an average of three per game, while struggling defensively without keeping a single clean sheet across all competitions this season.

Norwich arrive with momentum following a 4-1 home victory over Burnley and a 2-1 away triumph at Cardiff in recent action. The Canaries have shown potent attacking ability, netting five goals in three league games, though their own defensive record remains open after allowing six goals across the same span.

Head-to-head history heavily tilts toward the visitors, with Norwich winning six and drawing three of the past ten encounters between the sides. Stoke have failed to win any of their last five home meetings against Norwich, recording three draws and two defeats at the Bet365 Stadium.

Yes + Norwich or Draw
Confidence68%

Yes — 68% confidence

Both teams have struggled for defensive solidity, with neither side registering a clean sheet in the Championship this season. Stoke have scored in all three of their league matches despite losing each one, while Norwich scored four against Burnley in their previous outing, making goals at both ends a likely outcome.

Norwich or Draw — 74% confidence

Norwich hold a dominant record in recent head-to-head meetings, avoiding defeat in nine of the last ten clashes against Stoke, including an unbeaten run of two wins and three draws across their last five visits to Stoke. Stoke have lost all three of their Championship fixtures so far, conceding nine goals in the process, which gives the visitors a strong probability of taking at least a point.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (both teams to score and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
