Norwich City host Bournemouth in the English EFL Cup 1/32 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 24th at Carrow Road (Norwich)
Norwich confidently won the Championship in the previous season, thanks to which the club returned to the strongest English division. The Canaries lost their two opening matches in the Premier League with a total score of 0- 8, showing a weak game. Of course, it can be attributed to the fact that they lost to Liverpool at home (0-3) and Manchester City away (5-0), that is, to the opponents of a very high level. Most embarrassing is the fact that Norwich City looks extremely weak in terms of the game. Let's see how the Canaries will play against an opponent of a different level. Three players will not be able to play for Norwich for various reasons.

Bournemouth failed to make it to the Premier League in the previous season, even though they were ranked sixth in the Championship standings and then played in the playoffs. The Cherries have held four matches this season and scored eight points. The team has been unbeaten so far and scored two goals in each game. In the last round, the Cherries could not beat Blackpool at home (2-2), although they were winning 2-0. The gap to the leaders of the Championship standings is only two points, and Bournemouth is serious about returning to the elite of English football. Two players will not help the team in the upcoming match.
Whatever one may say, but the teams are already in different divisions, so the bookmakers give a slight advantage to the Canaries. Norwich still looks very bad in the Premier League, so the League Cup can be a kind of outlet. We expect an interesting head-to-head match and think that the visitors will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Bournemouth to win with +0.5 handicap
