Tipster’s Angle

Liverpool have dominated this fixture in the last couple of decades as Norwich City has just won one match, which was way back in 1994. With the attacking threats that Liverpool possesses, this match could feature a lot of goals as well.

Tip: Liverpool -1.5 @ 1.93

In the last ten head to head matches, Liverpool has won eight matches and the other two matches ended in a draw. Out of the eight wins, Liverpool won five of the matches by at least a two-goal margin. Liverpool has just lost one match in the last nine matches, including two draws and six wins. Four of their last six wins have come with a two-goal margin. The last club friendly that Norwich City have played, they have failed to cover. So, it is likely that Liverpool will win by a margin greater than two goals at 1.93 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.45

In the last ten head to head matches, a total of 45 goals were scored at an average of 4.5 goals per match. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in seven of those matches. Over 2.5 goals were scored in six of the last eight matches that Norwich City has played. Also, Liverpool has seen over 2.5 goals in four of the last eight matches they have played. A total of seven goals were scored in the last match that Liverpool played in the club friendly. With the likes of Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Teemu Pukki taking the field, we could see a lot of goals. And the odds for over 2.5 goals are 1.45 available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Liverpool are very much on course to win the match and start the campaign with all three points on the board. While Norwich will be looking to concede as few goals as possible so as to not dent their goal difference which could prove vital in the backend of the season.
