Norwich City vs Brighton prediction 11.01.2025 | FA Cup

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: 11th January 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Carrow Road

Norwich City will be looking to end their four match unbeaten run against Brighton when the two sides face off in the third of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts have finally settled down in the Championship after a series of moves between the second tier and the Premier League between 2018-19 and 2022-23. Johannes Hoff Thorup's side have now failed to win promotion in successive seasons and that run looks set to continue this term, with the Cannaries currently outside the top ten.

Brighton have been in the top flight for eight successive seasons. The Seagulls made a blistering start to the 2024-25 campaign, winning their first three games by a combined score of 9-1, but that form faded off quickly. However, Fabian Hürzeler's side are a tough side to beat, having gone two games without losing to Arsenal this season and also secured victories over Man City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Norwich City vs Brighton Betting Tips: Brighton to win

Brighton may have failed to win their last eight games, conceding 13 goals in the process, but the Seagulls are capable of beating anyone on their day and their last two victories came away from the Amex.

Norwich City are growing in confidence after avoiding defeat in each of their last four games - three wins and a draw - but they don't have a great record in the FA Cup especially when playing in the second tier. The Canaries are winless in the last 16 FA Cup ties when playing in the Championship and I fancy they will extend that run this weekend.
