Norwich to move a step closer to a Premier League at Forest
4470

This season has been a stellar one for Norwich in the Championship. After suffering relegation from the Premier League last season, the Canaries look set for a quick return to the English top-flight next season.

Daniel Farke’s team head into Wednesday night’s away game at Nottingham Forest top of the second tier table, ten points clear of third-place Swansea City.

The Canaries head to the Midlands on a run of eight straight victories, having scored at least two goals in four of their last five league outings.

The team from Norfolk has built their promotion challenge on a solid defensive base, as only promotion rivals Watford and Swansea have conceded fewer goals than the visitors.

At the other end of the pitch, Finnish striker Teemu Pukki has once again been prolific in front of goal, scoring 21 league goals this season.

Norwich recent stellar away form has also played a part in their lofty position in the Championship, as the Canaries have won their last four league games on their travels, scoring at least two goals in all four of the victories.

Nottingham Forest have endured another disappointing Championship campaign, as the Tricky Trees currently sit nine points clear of the relegation zone. The team from the Midlands head into this clash on a four-game winless run in the English second tier after a 1-1 draw with Reading last time out.

Forest’s recent league matches have been tight, as their last eight league games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Their recent home form has not helped their chances of success of late, as Forest have failed to win in their last six league games at the City Ground.

Forebet predicts that Norwich’s winning run will continue with the Canaries recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
