Expert AI analysis

It is driven by both attacks and defences: Norwich have averaged 2.4 scored and 2.4 conceded, Southampton 2.0 and 1.0 over their recent games. That fits an open goals environment: 63.1% for over 2.5 and 84.1% for at least two goals. Their last 4 meetings have averaged 3.5 goals a game. Norwich have gone over 2.5 in 5 of their last 5, Southampton in 3 of 5. The published percentage is an estimate, not a guarantee or a measured hit rate.
