Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that occupy the bottom half of the league table, but Norwich is more organized in the different moments of the match. In this way, we believe that this will be a very balanced match, with few real danger throws, making the defenses superior to the respective attacks. So, and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of a match with few goals seems to have great value.
