Fixture: Norwich vs Hull City
Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025
Kick-off: 12:30 GMT
Venue: Carrow Road
Norwich have been struggling lately, losing their last five matches. They'll be desperate for a win at home, but their confidence might be low. Hull City, on the other hand, have been in decent form, winning three of their last five and drawing the other two. They'll fancy their chances of getting something from this game, especially with Norwich's recent poor run.
Norwich will need to be more solid at the back and more clinical up front if they want to turn their fortunes around. Hull City's attacking threat could cause problems for Norwich's defence, but they'll need to be wary of Norwich's counter-attacking ability. It's set to be a tight, competitive match.
Norwich have been on a terrible run, losing all of their last five games. They've struggled to score, managing just two goals in those matches. This poor form could make it tough for them to get a result against Hull City. They'll need to find some confidence and start converting their chances if they want to avoid another defeat.
Hull City have been in much better form than Norwich, winning three and drawing two of their last five games. They've shown they can score goals and pick up points against strong opposition. This good run of form should give them confidence going into this match. They'll be looking to exploit Norwich's defensive frailties and continue their positive momentum.
Norwich have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Hull City, winning four of the last five encounters. However, their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw. Hull City will be looking to improve on their record against Norwich and get a positive result in this game.

Oscar Schwartau vs Cody Drameh: The midfield duel between Schwartau and Drameh could determine which team controls the game.
