Norwich City vs AFC Bournemouth Match Analysis and Prediction

One of the outstanding encounters in the second round of this season’s EFL Cup will take place at Carrow Road on Tuesday, as Championship side Norwich City host Premier League outfit AFC Bournemouth.

The hosts will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 victory over Millwall in the second tier on Friday, while Bournemouth lost 3-0 to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Canaries are back in the second tier of English football, having finished bottom of the Premier League last season, and they have made a solid start to their 2022-23 Championship campaign, collecting seven points from five matches, which has left them in eighth place in the table.

Dean Smith’s side are expected to be one of the challengers for promotion this season, and they will enter this contest off the back of successive victories, defeating Huddersfield Town 2-1 on August 16 before claiming a 2-0 victory over Millwall on Friday.

Norwich City, who have a huge game away at Sunderland in the Championship next Saturday, needed penalties to overcome Birmingham City in the first round of this season’s EFL Cup.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth head into Tuesday off the back of a 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, which followed a 4-0 loss at Manchester City.

The Cherries opened their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, but they have another tough league fixture at Liverpool next weekend, so it could potentially be three straight defeat for Scott Parker’s side, who were promoted from the Championship last season.

Despite having lost 6-0 to Norwich in the second round of the League Cup last season, Bournemouth have won two of the last three meetings between the two sides, and will believe to be favourites heading into the contest at Carrow Road.

Norwich City news

Norwich will again be without a number of first-team players for this contest, with Dimitris Giannoilis, Isaac Hayden, Sam Bryam, Jakob Sorensen and Sam McCallum on the sidelines.

Teemu Pukki, Gabriel Sara, Ben Gibson and Angus Gunn could come into the starting XI, with Joshua Sargent potentially dropping to the bench.

AFC Bournemouth news

Ryan Fredericks, Joe Rothwell and David Brooks will again be absent for Bournemouth, while Dominic Solanke is not expected to be risked as he bids to overcome an ankle injury.

Neto could potentially make his debut between the sticks, while Jaidon Anthony, Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie should all start.

Prediction and Odds

This has all of the makings of a very interesting affair, and we are predicting an entertaining match on Tuesday.

It would certainly not be a surprise to see Norwich City succeed, but we feel that Bournemouth will just about have enough to come out on top following the confidence of Premier League status.
