Will Norwich and Olympiacos give us a pre-season THRILLER? Championship club and Evangelos Marinakis' side are 10/1 to provide us with over 5.5 goals!
Norwich City are adding more continental flavour to their pre-season diet as they take on Greek champions Olympiacos in the Netherlands. Having beaten Northampton Town (not so continental) 3-1, then drawn 1-1 with Volendam and Zulte Waregem, Liam Manning's men now add some Champions League ilk to their schedule. The Championship side will hope to catch Evangelos Marinakis' club on an off day when they meet at 11am on Friday. Sky Bet are offering various odds for under/over a certain amount of goals in the game. If you reckon there will be 5.5 or more, then they cater to that fancy with a 10/1 offer. At the other end of the scale, if you think there will be fewer than 0.5 goals - which sounds like a 0-0 to you and me - then the odds are 14/1. For 3.5 goals or more, you're looking at 15/8, but if you're predicting under that, the odds will be 2/5. Sky Bet odds for Norwich vs Olympiacos - match over/under goals 0.5 goals - over 1/50, under 14/1 1.5 goals - over 1/5, under 10/3 2.5 goals - over 8/11, under 1/1 3.5 goals - over 15/8, under 2/5 4.5 - over 9/2, under 1/7 5.5 goals - over 10/1, under 1/25

Norwich sign ex-Crystal Palace defender Schlupp
Norwich City have signed free agent Jeffrey Schlupp on a one-year deal. The utility player, 32, was released by Crystal Palace in May after eight years with the south London club. Schlupp had a loan spell at Celtic during the 2024-25 campaign and made 13 league appearances for the Scottish champions. The Ghana international was part of the Leicester City squad that won the Premier League title in 2016. "I'm really excited, it's something new again but a lot to look forward to back in the Championship at a big club," Schlupp told the club's website. "I've spoken to the head coach [Liam Manning] about the plan for this year and I am excited to be involved." Schlupp becomes the club's eighth signing this summer and will provide cover for the left side of the defence but can also operate as a midfielder. Norwich's sporting director Ben Knapper said: "He is a player of immense experience having played at the highest levels both domestically and internationally for many years. "His quality, versatility and character will all be great assets for us, and he will serve as a fantastic reference point for our younger players in particular this season."
