King's Lynn Town anticipate the challenge of Norwich City at The Walks Stadium in a pre-season friendly between the sides on Tuesday.

The hosts claimed a convincing win in their last warm-up fixture while the away side were held to a share of the spoils last time out.

Match preview

Norwich City played out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate against German lower league side Regensburg at the Sportzentrum Brandstatt on Saturday.

Dean Smith's men trailed on two occasions to strikes from Andreas Albers and Joshua Mees but they hit back both times through Todd Cantwell and Jonathan Rowe.

The Canaries now prepare to take on an opposing side who have lost both of the previous two meetings between the teams, most recently a 3-1 contest back in 2021.

Ahead of a tantalising encounter against Olympique Marseille four days later, Tuesday's visitors will be aiming to pick up a morale-boosting victory before jetting off to France.

King's Lynn Town kicked off their pre-season journey with a comfortable 3-1 triumph against St. Ives at Westwood Road on Saturday.

Ricky Marheineke's men raced to a three-goal lead inside the opening 25 minutes thanks to strikes from Theo Widdrington, Gold Omotayo and Michael Clunan and that was enough to get the job done.

The Linnets, who recently suffered relegation from the National League during the just-concluded campaign, will be keen to secure promotion back into the fifth tier of English football.

In the first of three consecutive friendlies on their own patch, Tuesday's hosts set out to give the cheering crowd their money's worth with a dominant display in this one.
