Bristol Rovers
Norwich City
Contents
- Competition: FA Cup
- Date: 17th January 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Memorial Stadium
Following a 1-1 draw at Carrow Road earlier this month in the third round of the FA Cup tie, Bristol Rovers and Norwich City are set to face off once more on Wednesday night at the Memorial Stadium for a replay.
Bristol Rovers have not had a good start to the new year. Despite ending 2023 on a high note with Matt Taylor’s team winning four of their last five games and scoring an average of two goals per match, they have not managed to maintain this momentum. The Pirates have yet to secure a win in the three games they have played this year, with two losses and a draw.
Meanwhile, Norwich City concluded 2023 with two successive losses, but their situation has improved since the start of the new year. The Canaries have not lost any of their three games so far and recently triumphed over Hull City with a 2-1 victory in the Championship.
Bristol Rovers vs Norwich City Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Although Bristol Rovers had a rocky start to the year, they’ve proven to be a force to reckon with in terms of goal scoring. Having scored in their past 21 games across all competitions, it’s clear they shouldn’t be underestimated. In addition, bets on “Both Teams To Score &— Yes” have been successful in their last 12 matches.
One of Norwich City’s major shortcomings this season has been their defence. The Canaries have managed to keep a clean sheet only once in their previous eight games. However, the silver lining is that they only failed to score in two of those games. In each of their last three matches, both teams managed to score at least once.

Bristol Rovers team news
Despite not sustaining any injuries in their previous league defeat against Barnsley, Bristol Rovers’ head coach Matt Taylor is anticipated to alter his starting eleven.
Aaron Collins, a player with eight assists and three goals this season, began that game on the substitutes bench. Therefore, this reshuffle could potentially benefit the midfielder.

Norwich City team news
The pressure will be on Norwich City’s head coach, David Wagner, to include Christian Fassnacht in the starting lineup after the midfielder scored the winning goal against Hull City coming off the bench.
Josh Sargent has been a starter for the last two games, a trend that is likely to continue this week. However, Dimitris Giannoulis might be replaced by Sam McCallum in defence.
