Norwich City vs Manchester united 27.10.2019

It is a super Sunday match today, Norwich City vs Manchester United. On a four-game winless run in the Premier League (PL), Norwich City can at least take some comfort from the fact both their league wins so far have come at home (W2, L2). In fact, with all four of their home games ending with over 3.5 goals, Carrow Road has produced a league-high average of 5.0 total goals per PL game this term.

Although outsiders here, Norwich have scored in all three games they’ve played this season against teams that finished in the top six during 2018/19. Whilst they conceded at least two goals in all three of those matches (W1, L2), they also scored two goals within the opening 30 minutes in the last two such games, both of which were at home. 

Newcastle United vs Wolves 27.10.2019

Premier League (PL) games have been tight at St James’ Park this season, with all four finishing with under 2.5 goals (W1, D2, L1), and three goalless at half-time. A 1-0 win over Manchester United in their last home match did give the ‘Magpies’ a second consecutive PL home clean sheet, as they now search for a third in a row for the first time since March 2018.

Six of Newcastle’s last eight PL victories have now been accompanied by a clean sheet, and with three of the hosts’ last four top-flight games witnessing no goal before the 70th minute, another solid defensive performance could be likely here. Indeed Newcastle’s last two competitive H2H wins also came ‘to nil’.

Burnley vs Chelsea epl 27oct 2019

Last weekend, Burnley’s unbeaten Premier League (PL) run was halted at four games by a 2-1 defeat at Leicester City. In turn, just over half (five) of the Clarets’ nine league games this term have seen both teams score, with each of that quintet producing an odd number of goals beyond the hour mark.

In contradiction though, Burnley’s last four home league games have seen just one team score (W3, L1), and each win in that sequence saw all of the Clarets’ goals arrive in one half, separating (if applicable) their first and last goals by less than 15 minutes.

Each of Chelsea’s four PL away games this season has produced over 3.5 total goals (W3, L1), with all of the wins producing over 4.5! All of those victories saw the first half alone produce over 2.5 goals, with two of them seeing Chelsea open the scoring inside the first 20 minutes.
