Championship Round 1 brings Norwich and West Brom together at Carrow Road. Norwich managed two wins, two draws and one loss across five pre-season and cup outings, scoring in 3 of those 5 games. West Brom arrive in sharply contrasting form: five wins from five, 17 goals scored, conceding just 3, with goals in all 5 matches. That gap in pre-season momentum is hard to ignore on an opening day.
The h2h numbers add texture. Norwich won 2 of the last 3 meetings from the home perspective, but West Brom's 5-0 win away in January and a 4-1 League Cup thrashing of Rotherham last week signal a side in clinical touch. West Brom's DNB price of 2.75 (bet365) reflects a market that still leans Norwich, yet the visitor's attacking output makes that price look generous.
The call is West Brom Draw No Bet at 2.75. If the Baggies win, you collect; if it ends level, the stake returns. Given one injured Norwich player (Makama) and West Brom's dominant scoring run, the risk-reward is clear. Alt: Over 2.5 goals at 1.91.
