Norwich City vs Bournemouth betting tips: Carabao Cup Second Round preview, predictions and odds

Match preview

These two clubs met in the same round of the same competition at the same venue exactly a year ago tomorrow.

Back then, Norwich ran out 6-0 winners, with Christos Tzolis and Josh Sargent both bagging braces.

A lot has changed in the intervening year though, with Norwich relegated back to the Championship and Bournemouth going in the opposite direction.

So, do the visitors come into this rematch as favourites?

The Cherries made the perfect start to life back in the Premier League, beating Aston Villa 2-0 on the opening weekend.

Since, Scott Parker’s side have suffered a serious reality check, swatted aside 4-0 by Manchester City and then 3-0 by Arsenal.

With a trip to Liverpool to come on Saturday, Bournemouth will be hoping this tie can lift morale if nothing else.

Norwich City meanwhile have already played a match in this season’s League Cup.

The Canaries raced into a 2-0 lead against Birmingham City, Danel Sinani and Jacob Sørensen scoring, but threw it away.

Nevertheless, after the 2-2 draw, Norwich snuck through via a penalty shootout.

Despite being expected to cruise to the title again, Dean Smith’s side are currently eighth in the second-tier, despite beating Millwall 2-0 on Friday night.

All in all, this one at Carrow Road is tough to call.
