- The draw was the correct result in Norwich City U21's home game in Premier League 2 - Division 1 2026/2027
Canaries can edge it on home turf
The Canaries have had a mixed start to their Premier League 2 - Division 1 2026/2027 campaign, but they look better than their 12th-place position in the table suggests after their first four games (W2, D1, L1).
And they should get a great opportunity to pick up another positive result in this Friday's fixture against West Ham United U21, who are 15th after accruing five points from their first four outings.
Norwich City U21 are unbeaten in their two home matches so far and they have shown good momentum in front of their own fans.
A 0-0 home draw with Stoke City U21 was followed by a 4-2 win over Birmingham U21 and a 3-1 away loss to Sunderland U21, all of which came in the Premier League 2 - Division 1 2026/2027.
West Ham United U21 have had a similarly inconsistent start to the campaign with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five.
But the Hammers have been poor on the road, taking one draw and one defeat from their two trips away.
Norwich's possession-based, flexible approach to shaping games should see them dominate long periods of the game at West Ham's expense, which should also make it a open game at both ends.
That is when young Josh Landers, who has four of West Ham's five goals in their last five games, is most dangerous and if Norwich can turn their possession into chances, they will win.
The hosts can get the better of West Ham in a goal-laden game and are the clear choice at 181/100. With both teams having it in them to score, over 2.5 goals is also the pick at 9/20.
