  "account": "Norwich City are set to face Southampton in a crucial midweek fixture, aiming to break a three-match losing streak and distance themselves from the relegation zone. Southampton, meanwhile, is buoyant after a 1-0 derby win over Portsmouth, despite playing with 10 men after Cam Bragg's dismissal in the first half. The Saints have a narrow one-point lead over the play-off spots, needing five more points to secure automatic promotion.\n\nLooking at head-to-head records, Norwich has only lost one of their last seven home games against Southampton, with a 0-3 defeat in the Premier League back in June 2020. Southampton, on the other hand, has only lost two of their last eight league matches against Norwich, with their most recent victory coming in March. It's worth noting that Norwich managed to avoid a home defeat in two consecutive games at Carrow Road against Bolton during the 2026 season.\n\nHowever, Southampton have never won their first four away games of a season outside of the Premier League since the 2009-10 League One campaign (first five matches). Additionally, Southampton's Finn Azaz has scored more goals against Norwich in his English league career (4 goals) than any other side.",
