The Canaries to beat the Robins in Championship shoot out

The Canaries to beat the Robins in Championship shoot out
2382

On Wednesday evening, Championship leaders Norwich host play-off chasing Bristol City at Carrow Road in a big game for both teams.

Norwich are currently six points clear of second-place Swansea City and eight points clear of third-place Bournemouth in the race for automatic promotion.

A 2-1 win at Cardiff City last time out means that the Canaries have won seven of their last nine games to boost their chances of an instant return to the Premier League.

A stellar home record in the Championship has been the key to the Canaries lofty position in the second tier table. The team from Norfolk are unbeaten in their previous ten home league games, having recorded seven victories in the process.

Their recent home matches have been relatively low-scoring in the Championship, as six of their last eight league games at Carrow Road have produced under 2.5.

Bristol City are well in the hunt for a play-off spot, as the Robins currently sit ninth place in the table, four points outside the top-six.

Dean Holden’s team have been highly inconsistent in the Championship of late, as a 2-0 win over Preston last time out was their second win in their last six league outings, suffering four defeats in the process. The Robins have won two of their last three matches in the second tier.

The visitors recent away record may hinder their chances of making the play-offs this season. In fact, City have lost four of their last five league games on the road.

A lack of clean sheets has been a factor in their poor recent record away record, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten league games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Norwich will strengthen their chances of promotion by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
