These sides faced off in November in a clash that produced five goals, with Birmingham coming away 4-1 winners. Birmingham alone managed to register an xG of 3.56 in that game, while Norwich pitched in to the entertainment as well with an xG of 1.34 from 15 shots.

Norwich have seen 36 goals across their 15 home games in the Championship this term (2.4 per game) with only one of these games ending in a draw. This suggests that Norwich often find themselves in end to end games at home, which can help contribute to at least two goals in this encounter.

Furthermore, only two sides in the Championship have kept fewer clean sheets than Norwich (5) this season. This election has landed in nine of Norwich’s last 10 matches across all competitions, with the only game in which it failed to come in being a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough - one of the best sides in the division.

Birmingham tend to struggle on the road and have seen 37 goals across their 16 away matches in the Championship this term (2.31 per game). They’ve only won four of these games, potentially opening the door for Norwich to be on the right side of the result here in what should be an entertaining game. 

Brentford have been very strong at home this season, avoiding defeat in 11 of their 13 matches at the Gtech Community Stadium. These games have been pretty entertaining as well, with Brentford seeing 37 goals across their home matches (2.84 per game). 

They’ve seen 2+ goals in 10 of these matches, and have the perfect opponent to see a similar goal tally in this clash. Brighton have seen 34 goals across their 13 away matches in the Premier League this term (2.61 per game) - notably winning just two of these games.

Recent meetings between these sides also offers plenty of promise when it comes to goals, the last two head to head meetings have produced nine goals, with Brighton running out 2-1 winners when the sides clashed earlier in the season. That game saw a combined xG of 3.13, offering promise of at least two goals in this encounter. 

There’s plenty of motivation for both sides to go for the three points too, Brentford are chasing a spot in Europe next season while Brighton need to be wary of being sucked into the relegation battle on the back of a few weeks of poor form.
