West Bromwich Albion vs Norwich City: match statistics

The hosts demonstrate solid offensive efficiency in home fixtures (averaging 1.38 goals, xG 1.7) alongside a stable defense (averaging 1.08 goals conceded). Despite Norwich City showing better form in their last 5 matches (1.8 PPG), they struggle significantly away from home, recording only 29% wins, a high concession rate (averaging 1.5 per match), and merely 7% clean sheets.
