Brighton vs Norwich predictions and weekend football betting tips for the Championship fixture at 3pm with the best odds for each bet and reasons for the tips.
One of the highlights of this weekend’s Championship fixture list comes from the AMEX where in-form Brighton host Norwich. We’ve got the best betting tips for the 3pm kick off.
Brighton’s recent form has helped move them into second behind leaders Newcastle. Chris Hughton’s side were a little inconsistent in the early weeks of the season including a surprising home defeat to Brentford and many predicted they couldn’t replicate the success of last season. But, they’ve answered those critics with three wins in four and only a late Preston equaliser denying them a maximum return. Their recent win at Sheffield Wednesday was a particular highlight – the Seagulls hadn’t won there since before the 1st world war, that record was broken with a 2-1 victory. Hughton’s side have been helped by the return of Dale Stephens, who despite admiring glances from the Premier League has decided to stay with the club. Norwich were riding high in the table, but have had a wobbly patch. The Canaries were beaten by Preston at the weekend and that followed on from blowing a 2 goal lead against Fulham. They were knocked out of the EFL Cup on penalties in midweek to cap off a poor seven days for the Norfolk side.
Brighton vs Norwich Predictions
I think the home side have to be backed here on current form so my first Brighton vs Norwich betting tip is for the home win. They may have been disappointed to only draw with Preston, but they’re playing Norwich at the right time. The away side are just struggling for form and the Seagulls could take advantage of that.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Tips
Brighton have conceded the fewest goals in the league this season and they could frustrate a usually potent Norwich attack. The Canaries have scored 1 goal in their last 2 games (League and Cup) and one Seagulls goal might win it so I’m getting on under 2.5 goals for my second Brighton vs Norwich prediction this weekend.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips
Glenn Murray is always handy for a goal and there’s a reason why the former Crystal Palace man starts at the top of the market – he’s a natural finisher and completes this weekend’s betting tips for Brighton vs Norwich.

Brighton vs Norwich Team News
Lewis Dunk should return for this game. The Central had to sit out last weekend’s match due to a ban. He should add some steel to the already secure Brighton defence. Jamie Murphy will be hoping for a start against his former club.
Sam Baldock and Glenn Murray are likely to both start with Tomer Hemed settling for a place on the bench.
Norwich reported no new injury worries after their loss in the EFL Cup. That was a much changed side and it remains to be seen whether any of the players did enough to merit a start here. Alex Pritchard is the most likely candidate after scoring the opening goal of the game.
Jonny Howson is definitely out as he is having surgery on a recent injury.
Norwich are missing Ivo Pinto in defence, this game could come too soon.
Brighton vs Norwich Head to Head
These sides last met in April 2015 with Norwich running out 1-0 winners on the South Coast. Bradley Johnson scored the winner that day. The two sides had played out a 3-3 thriller in their previous meeting that season.
Brighton haven’t won in this fixture since 2002.
Brighton vs Norwich Betting Odds
Brighton start as favourites for this match at around 13/10. They’ve been strong at home so is easy to understand this price. The draw is around 23/10 with most firms and Norwich can be backed around 2/1 or 11/5.
Glenn Murray leads the way in the goalscoring market at around 5/1 with Cameron Jerome also popular at around 13/2.
