Norwich to Win
With just one win secured in their last ten games, Norwich have limped over the line in disappointing fashion this season, though the Canaries’ players will feel they owe their supporters a performance and they should be able to force a win in their final assignment of the campaign at home to already-relegated Blackpool. The visitors have lost eight of their last nine away matches and that travel sickness is difficult to dismiss. With those factors aligned, we kick off our football betting tips this week by siding with the hosts in the match result market.
Under 2.5 Goals
When Norwich beat Blackpool in the reverse fixture between the teams back in October, just a single goal hit the net and margins could be similarly slim when the sides lock horns again on Monday. Incredibly, the Canaries have failed to score in each of their last four matches on home soil while Blackpool have notched one or fewer goals in seven of their last eight second tier contests. With a dearth of reliable goal-getters in both camps, our second Norwich vs Blackpool prediction advises a wager on under 2.5 goals.

Norwich vs Blackpool Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Norwich vs Blackpool lineups and team news for Monday’s Championship tussle below.
Norwich
Norwich are missing a handful of players at the moment with Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Kieran Dowell, Kenny McLean and Przemyslaw Placheta all currently in the treatment room. City took the lead at WBA in their last outing, though they were eventually gunned down 2-1 in a Baggies comeback.
Predicted Lineup for Norwich: Gunn – Aarons, Omobamidele, Byram, Giannoulis – Sorensen, Sara, Marquinhos, Gibbs, Tzolis – Sargent
Blackpool
Blackpool have several personnel issues to contend with ahead of the campaign's final fixture. Jordan Thorniley and Charlie Goode are missing at the back, while Kevin Stewart and Liam Bridcutt are absent in midfield. Further forward, Gary Madine and Shayne Lavery are also expected to be absent.
Predicted Lineup for Blackpool: Grimshaw – Lawrence-Gabriel, Nelson, Husband, Lyons – Patino, Fiorini, Rogers, Anderson Hamilton – Yates
Player to Watch – Josh Sargent
Norwich have endured a frustrating season back in the Championship, though American attacker Josh Sargent can be pleased with his work from an individual perspective. The 23-year-old scored his 13th goal of the campaign when he found the net against WBA last time out and as the Canaries’ leading marksman, Sargent will be determined to register again on Monday.
