Norwich City vs West Ham Preview and Betting Tips

Norwich v West Ham prediction: This Saturday's late kick-off in the Premier League sees Norwich City welcoming West Ham to Carrow Road – here's our betting preview and tips for the game.

Norwich will be desperate to give a good performance in front of their home support and put last weekend's 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City, which followed their 4-0 loss to Manchester United in the League Cup, behind them. Visitors for the day West Ham will not be happy to return back to East London empty handed; a draw could well be on the cards – William Hill are offering best odds on a draw at 23/10.

Though admittedly Norwich came up against a Man City side bang in form and enjoying a ruthless streak in front of goal – City followed up their seven against Norwich with five more in the Champions League against CSKA Moscow in midweek – it was a woeful defensive display last weekend from the men in yellow and green and one the players, manager and fans will be wanting to swiftly forget.

Despite bolstering his attacking options with Ricky Van Wolfswinkel and Gary Hooper in the summer, Chris Hughton's men have so far struggled and they currently sit in the relegation places. They've struggled to score and shipped goals at the back and the early signs would indicate they will face a campaign of scrapping for their survival.

While a solitary point in a 0-0 home draw with Cardiff is all the Canaries have to show for their recent efforts – they last won a game back at the end of September, away at Stoke – West Ham are themselves on a three game winless streak. Something's got to give for one of these teams! Back West Ham to be leading at half-time, a draw at full-time for our first weekend football betting tip – best-priced with Bet Victor at 16/1.

Having started without a recognised attacker in the past few games – a decision which has seen them register two 0-0 draws in a row – the Hammers should be boosted by the likely return of attackers Joe Cole and namesake Carlton Cole. With Norwich's poor defensive record, we're expecting West Ham to break their recent duck first. For our final Norwich v West Ham betting tip, back Carlton Cole for first goalscorer, best priced at 15/2 with Sky Bet.
