Team sensation of the first 10 days of the English Premier League Bournemouth seeks to extend the success of its sporting season to the other competitions in which it is inserted, namely in this League Cup, where they are looking to repeat the feat of last season, where they have only qualified for the second time in their history to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.
In the last two qualifying rounds, the Bournemouth side moved away from Milton Keynes Dons and Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-0 and 3-2 respectively.
After a great start to the season, where in the first six games Bournemouth only lost to Everton (2-2) and Chelsea (2-0 defeat), Eddie Howe’s team crashed to a crash course at Burnley, where he lost about a month ago and a week by 4-0. Whoever thought that it would be the beginning of a decadent cycle, was deceived and well since five meetings have already happened since then and Bournemouth added four wins and a draw at that time, including a 1-0 win at Watford and another solid victory last Saturday against Fulham (3-0). In that game, Bournemouth added the third consecutive without conceding goals.
Eddie Howe is expected to make some changes in the starting lineup, which will no longer be able to count on the contribution of Joshua King, who must be replaced at eleven by experienced Jermain Defoe.
Norwich have been campaigning solidly in the Championship, where they are looking to take their place in the division climb.
The truth is that after 15 days the high competitiveness has marked, as usual, the second English step and the “canaries” appear in the 4th position, with 27 points from Leeds and Middlesbrough and just two points behind Sheffield United’s current lead.
In the previous qualifiers of the Carabao Cup, Norwich have already knocked out a top-flight team, notably Cardiff in the second round, triumphing 3-1 in Welsh territory.
In addition, they eliminated Stevenage (home win 3-1) and Waycombe (4-3 away win).
The German team Daniel Farke is in great form with eight victories in the last 10 games, where he was only stopped by Derby (1-1) and Stoke City (1-0 loss).
In the last 10 days, they have been three consecutive wins against Nottingham Forest (2-1), Aston Villa (2-1 at home) and Brentford (1-0 at home).
The Norwich side will miss Marco Stiepermann and Todd Cantwell, both injured, with Finn Teemu Pukki likely to be back after recovering from physical problems.
Nice clash in perspective, between the favorite Bournemouth and a Norwich who is living a great moment and is motivated not only by the latest good results, as for the triumph that got against Cardiff there are two qualifiers behind in this Carabao Cup.
Eddie Howe’s team has disappointed very few times so far this season, occupying a fantastic 6th place in the English top flight and has looked very seriously at all the challenges ahead.
Even with some rotation promoted by the technician of the house, I believe that is enough to beat a Norwich that despite everything is inferior and also should not present with the whole meat in the rotisserie, even because it comes from a difficult game with Brentford last Saturday and in the next there is a field trip to Sheffield Wednesday for the championship.
So, I believe in the qualification of the team of Bournemouth, in a game that must have a few goals, the moment they both cross and the way they usually face their matches.
