Liverpool v Norwich Betting Tips [19 February 2022]

Back to back matches against title contenders are sure to test Norwich City’s credentials in the survival fight. They are set to travel to Liverpool in their next game, having sunk back into the relegation zone after failing to win the last two league games. Liverpool are chasing Manchester City and go into this game placed second with 54 points, while Norwich have 17 points in 18th place. Liverpool will not be focused on this match right away, as they have a Champions League engagement away to Inter in Italy. When they return home though, they will go into this game as firm favorites. In the league this season they’ve scored in all but one. In the league still, Liverpool have no loss in the last five matches, winning the last four and scoring two or more goals in four of the five league games. They are even stronger at home; this season the Reds have no loss at home and ahead of this game they have six straight wins, with four clean sheets in the last five.

Norwich’s recent rise was checked by title-chasing Manchester City in a 4-0 defeat, and facing another title chasing side wouldn’t have been in Norwich’s wish list at this point in time. They have to take on this challenge though, knowing too well that they haven’t performed well in this fixture. In the last five meetings with Liverpool, Norwich have suffered losses. Two straight winless outings have plunged Norwich back into the relegation zone, and it will be tougher, having played one more match than the side right above them – Newcastle United. They are now four points behind the safe zone and it doesn’t make matters easier. Away from home in the league, Norwich have just one win in their last five matches – a 3-0 victory over struggling Watford. They’ve failed to score in three of their last four away league games.

This game looks so easy for Liverpool; they have a fine run at home in the league and face a side they’ve beaten in each of the last five meetings. Norwich haven’t done well in the season and their situation is complicated by the points they’ve dropped recently. A win for Liverpool seems assured while leading in both halves sounds great.
