Wrexham's equivalent set shows a tighter, lower-scoring pattern, with draws cropping up more often than wins. Games involving them have tended to be closer affairs rather than one-sided ones.

If that pattern holds, this could be a game without a flood of goals.

Comparative Team Statistics: Norwich vs Wrexham

Head-to-head

There have only been two recorded meetings between these two clubs, and the away side won both. Wrexham won on the road at Norwich in one, and Norwich won on the road at Wrexham in the other.

It's a small sample drawn from recent seasons, so it shouldn't be read as a firm trend, but it's a quirky detail given how much home advantage usually matters in this division.

It's too small a sample to lean on heavily, but it's worth bearing in mind.

Where they sit in the table

Norwich currently sit just above Wrexham in the Championship table, separated by only a point. Both have played the same number of games, and neither has built a cushion from the teams around them.

Players to watch

Norwich's M. Touré has been their most productive forward, with five goals in seven appearances, while Wrexham's K. Moore has three from eight. On the creative side, Norwich's A. Brooks and Wrexham's Daniel Edward Peter Imray have each set up two goals this term.

Norwich:

Best scorers:

M. Touré - 5

Best assist providers:

A. Brooks - 2

Penalty cards:

J. Córdoba x 1 x 4

Wrexham:

Best scorers:

K. Moore - 3

Best assist providers:

Daniel Edward Peter Imray - 2

Penalty cards:

D. Hyam x 3

Norwich's J. Córdoba and Wrexham's D. Hyam have both picked up a handful of bookings, which is worth keeping in mind given how physical these Championship games can get.

How this one might play out

Norwich's recent matches have shown more goals at both ends than Wrexham's, whose games have tended to finish tighter and lower-scoring. That contrast in styles is worth watching.

Norwich can score in bursts, but they've also conceded at a similar rate, so a tight, low-scoring game isn't guaranteed just because Wrexham's recent matches have often gone that way.
