Norwich vs. Leicester Betting Tips: Two best bets for competitive Championship clash
Fourth meet second in this battle for Premier League promotion when Norwich and Leicester butt heads on Wednesday night in the Championship.
Norwich are in a very promising position at the moment: 13 points from a possible 18, one defeat from their opening six and riding high as the division's top scorers with 15 goals.
A solitary loss for Enzo Maresca's Leicester sees them second to only Preston North End with an equal goal difference of +6. The Foxes bounced back from their first loss of the season by dispatching fellow promotion hopefuls Southampton 4-1 at St Mary's.
The away team are favoured slightly in the match result market at odds of 8/5, with Norwich priced up closely behind at 7/4. 27/10 can be backed for the two teams to share the spoils in East Anglia.
Norwich vs Leicester Tips
Just as they were positioned at the start of the season, Leicester look a real force after dropping down into the second tier this season.
They've recruited well, have placed a young, hungry head coach in charge, and look well equipped to bounce straight back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The Foxes are two points better off than The Canaries and games like these will determine how close or far apart the two truly are.
This pair both lost on Gameweek 5 before the international break and that should give you an indication of the gulf that is likely to separate them: Leicester fell 1-0 to a new-look Hull team with high ambitions and Norwich lost 2-1 to the eternally relegation threatened Rotherham.
With a great balance of guile, resilience and firepower, Enzo Maresca will relish dispatching another promotion hopeful, just like he has with Coventry and Southampton.
Using the 0.0 Asian Handicap gives us that insurance that if the game ends in a draw we'll have our stakes returned.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been a thorn in the side of several Championship sides already, and we expect him to continue that streak against Norwich.
The midfielder has contributed two goals and two assists from his opening six fixtures, proving a deadly threat with his excellent ball carrying abilities.
Those sharp skills in possession have seen him drawn the second-most fouls of any player in the division behind only Kyle Walker-Peters (17) with 16.
Operating predominantly down the left-hand side of Leicester's attack, the 25-year-old Dewsbury-Hall has drawn at least one foul in every single, producing returns of: 4,3,1,3,2,3 this season.
It's in this area that we anticipate him causing the home team's right-back a few troubles. Jack Stacey, signed from Bournemouth on a three-year deal over the summer, has slotted nicely into David Wagner's starting XI, contributing the winning goal for his new club last weekend.
The full-back has given away six free-kicks in as many games for his new club, receiving a booking in a third of his outings so far. If he carries on at this rate he'll be closer to the 13/5 Betfair are offering than the 5/1 William Hill have been generous enough in propositioning.
For a bit of further ammunition, Stacey was carded in one of his two Premier League starts for Bournemouth last term, picking up two cautions in just 293 collective minutes.
