Norwich vs Manchester United: Predictions, odds & betting tips

Dean Smith will be aiming to get one over on Manchester United for the second time this season when his Norwich City team play hosts at Carrow Road in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The 50-year-old oversaw a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford while boss of Aston Villa back in September, albeit against a team then managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Norwich City vs Manchester United latest odds

Having taken four points from his first two league games at this stadium, Smith's Norwich are available at 6/1 (7.0) with bet365 to upset the opposition once again with another victory.

Ralf Rangnick secured a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in his first match in the dugout last weekend and Man Utd can be backed at 9/20 (1.45) to make it two league wins from two in this one.

The sides needed extra-time to separate them when they last met at this ground in the FA Cup quarter-finals two seasons ago, and you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Norwich City vs Manchester United first goalscorer

Teemu Pukki is his side’s 17/2 (9.50) favourite to open the scoring after hitting the net in three of his last five league appearances, with Adam Idah an 11/1 (12.0) outsider after failing to fire so far this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the 11/4 (3.75) front runner to break the deadlock as he leads the club’s scoring charts, although Marcus Rashford could offer better value at 11/2 (6.50) against a team he has scored past three times in the last two league meetings.

Norwich City vs Manchester United preview

While there has been plenty of excitement surrounding Rangnick’s arrival at Old Trafford, Smith has also enjoyed a promising start to life in his new role.

Last weekend’s rather unfortunate defeat at Tottenham was his first in four matches since replacing Daniel Farke, whose victory in his final match in charge means the Canaries have lost just once in five games.

Norwich are certainly looking a far more difficult team to break down recently, conceding before half-time in just three of their previous nine fixtures.

With the Red Devils having found the net before half-time just twice in their last seven matches, even money (2.0) offers solid value on the majority of the goals not going in until the second 45 for their sixth game in seven.
