The competition resumes in Premier League 2, a developmental tournament for young players and a training platform for the most formidable English teams, after a twenty-day hiatus.

Stoke secured victories in their last two matches of the competition, netting an impressive nine goals. However, their previous performance wasn’t as strong, landing them in the 19th spot on the table. Currently, Stoke is just one point shy of the 16th position which leads to the playoffs, keeping everything wide open.

Norwich U21 had an outstanding end to the first half of the season, securing a 6-0 victory over Man City. This impressive win propelled them to 9th place with 16 points. Their aim now could be to advance at least to the 8th position and secure a spot in the Playoffs post-regular season.

Stoke U21 vs Norwich U21 pick: NORWICH U21 TO WIN

Around the same time the previous year, Norwich triumphed over Stoke with a 3-0 victory. The situation hasn’t altered significantly since then. Stoke’s defense remains weak and prone to letting in multiple goals. Norwich has shown their strength in away games, having won four out of their last five matches on the road. They’ve also displayed their scoring prowess with 12 goals in their last three games, proving they’re just as comfortable playing away from their home stadium. We anticipate a victory for the visiting team, Norwich.
