Norwich v Brentford Betting Tips [3 March 2021]

Norwich City can go 10 points clear at the top of the Championship if beating second placed Brentford. The tables have been turned between these two clubs in recent weeks. The end of January and February saw Norwich earn two points from four games and no goals in sight. Brentford meanwhile were on a long unbeaten run and eventually took over at the top of the Championship. The rest of February belonged to Norwich though and Sunday's win at Wycombe was their fifth league win in just over a fortnight. Brentford meanwhile had a bad patch (from which they've now recovered) and Norwich have opened up a seven point lead. They are ten clear of third place, so an automatic promotion for the Canaries is looking very likely. Their return to form has coincided with the improved scoring form of Teemu Pukki. He's scored in each of his last five league games, bagging seven in total. An anytime goal scorer bet on the Finn is highly recommended. Norwich have won ten home league games this season and are unbeaten in their last 14.

Brentford's long unbeaten run was followed by three straight losses, all to sides in the bottom half of the table. Their last two league games have both been won and they are now three points above third placed Watford. Both those wins have been at home, though they had to come from behind to get the win over Stoke on Saturday. They will want a better start in this game after going behind in 27 seconds against Stoke. Their last two away league games have both been lost. This is going to be tough for them and you can back Norwich to get the home win and take a massive step towards promotion.
