A rising Stoke City will host an upstart Norwich City during Week 38 of the EFL Championship 2023-2024. Match will begin on Saturday, March 16, at 4 PM CET.
Stoke City
Recent times in the EFL Championship were not kind to Stoke City, as the Potters are yet to finish in the upper half of the standings after their relegation from the Premier League in 2018.
This season is no different, as the team from Stoke-on-Trent is stuck near the relegation zone, but an unexpected victory at Preston North End last week, at least pushed them out of the bottom-3 for a while. Now, with a chance to snowball that success, Stoke City will return home to host one of the league’s hottest teams.
Norwich City
Unexpectedly finishing only in thirteenth place last season, Norwich City decided that it was enough as they are back in the midst of a race to the playoffs for the third Premier League slot.
Eviscerating an outmatched Rotherham United “5-0” sweetened the loss at Riverside to Middlesbrough earlier last week, as the Canaries moved to the sixth spot in the table. Now, however, it is time to bring that top-5 offense to northwest, as a trip to Stoke-on-Trent looms ahead.
Prediction ⚽️
Norwich City got a minimal victory in the first round, as the upcoming match is not going to be easy either.
Both teams won two of their last three, but while sportsbooks prefer the hosts, we will side with the visitors to not suffer a loss in Stoke-on-Trent with 1.57 odds 🔥.
