📊 Match recap and data context

Our model favoured Norwich at 39 percent probability, a pick that did not land. Stoke had lost all five of their previous matches, while Norwich arrived on the back of three defeats in their last five outings. The clean sheet was notable given Norwich's recent tendency to play in matches where both sides scored, which occurred in 60 percent of their last five games. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
