Stoke v Norwich Match Report

Stoke and Norwich played out a 1-1 draw at the Bet365 Stadium, with both sides showcasing glimpses of attacking promise but failing to find a decisive breakthrough. Norwich initially took the lead late in the first half through Andrej Crnac, but Stoke quickly responded with a well-taken equaliser from Maykel Manhoef just before the break. The second half was less eventful, as both defences held firm, leaving each team to share the spoils.

Norwich started strongly and controlled possession early, but Stoke showed resilience in defence and slowly grew into the game. Crnac’s goal came in the 45th minute after some clever interplay involving Josh Sargent, but Stoke’s response was almost immediate, with Manhoef equalising in first-half stoppage time thanks to a cross from Enda Stevens.

The second half saw Norwich dominate possession, but despite their efforts, they couldn't break through Stoke’s well-organised defence. Stoke created a few chances on the counter, but neither side could find a winner, settling for a hard-earned point.

Key Moments

  • 43’: Marcelino Nunez was forced off due to injury and replaced by Schwartau, altering Norwich’s midfield dynamics.
  • 45’: Crnac scored for Norwich, finishing clinically after a set-up from Sargent.
  • 45+6’: Manhoef equalised for Stoke with a composed finish after a cross from Stevens.

Pre-Match Predictions Evaluation

  • Norwich to Win (❌): Gab Sutton’s prediction missed the mark, as Norwich failed to secure the away victory despite controlling large portions of the game.
  • Norwich to dominate possession (✅): Norwich maintained a significant share of possession (63%), indicating their control over the flow of the game.

While the match didn’t follow the predicted path to a Norwich win, their superior possession and tactical approach were evident. Stoke’s defensive resilience and timely equaliser prevented Norwich from taking all three points, making it a competitive and balanced encounter.
