Norwich vs West Brom Prediction 15 August 2026
🔊 Norwich, who went through a revival under Philippe Clement in the second half of last season, will host West Brom in round 1 of the Championship. The Throstles, who have been through a managerial change, had a productive pre-season, but matches against the Canaries have been tough for them in recent years. The game at Carrow Road promises to be a serious test.

In a cup match a week ago, Norwich comfortably beat MK Dons (4:1), with André Brooks - their most expensive summer signing, who joined from Sheffield United for €9.3m - contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.

West Bromwich Albion Team Overview

- corner kicks: 2 vs 1;

The visitors went through a managerial change in the second half of last season, and James Morrison managed to keep the team up, earning himself a full contract in the process. His side swept through pre-season, winning all four matches, before thrashing Rotherham (4:1) in the League Cup. New signing Jimmy-Jay Morgan scored a brace. The 20-year-old forward, who joined from Chelsea, also scored four goals in friendlies and looks like a serious threat.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Norwich come into the match as favourites thanks to home advantage and head-to-head history. However, West Brom, unbeaten in 17 of their last 19 away matches in the Championship, look formidable. The Canaries had a very high-scoring pre-season, so a logical betting option is goals at both ends. The both teams to score (yes) market has landed in five consecutive official Norwich matches. Predicted score - 2:2.
