West Bromwich Albion take on Norwich City on Saturday in the 16th round of games in the EFL Championship. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the points table.

Carlos Corberan's West Brom are fresh off a 2-1 win at Hull City just before the international break. Karlan Grant and Josh Maja struck inside 17 minutes to put West Brom in front. Joao Pedro pulled one back for Hull five minutes before half-time, but the Baggies hung on to take all three points.

Snapping a run of six straight draws, West Brom are fifth in the standings, with 25 points from 15 games, winning six.

Anis Mehmeti and Nahki Wells scored either side of the break to hand the Canaries their third straight defeat. Following the latest reverse, Thorup's side are 14th in the points table, with 18 points from 15 games, winning four.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the West Brom-Norwich Championship clash at The Hawthorns.

West Brom vs Norwich City prediction

The two sides are having contrasting seasons, with West Brom the more in-form side. The Baggies are unbeaten in seven league games, winning once, while Norwich are winless in six matches, losing the last three.

In terms of head-to-head, West Brom have a slender advantage, with their last defeat in the fixture - in January - ending a five-game unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, the Canaries are looking to avoid three straight league defeats to West Brom for the first time since 1998.

Their recent form doesn't augur too well for their hopes of taking something from the game. However, with the Baggies struggling to score at home, with none in their last three and three goals in seven games - an EFL Championship record for fewest goals - a goalless stalemate could ensue.

Prediction: West Brom 0-0 Norwich City
