📏 Form Guide

Norwich City

LWDLLW

Norwich City are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Championship success over Rotherham United.

In that match, Norwich City had 63% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Norwich City was Jordan Hugill (90'). Rotherham United got 14 shots at goal with 3 on target. Freddie Ladapo (3') and Michael Ihiekwe (69' Own goal) scored for Rotherham United.

It has been seldom in recent times where Norwich City haven’t conceded. The reality is that The Canaries have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals along the way.

Their previous form shows that Norwich City:

• have not lost a league tie with Birmingham City in their last 5 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 7 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

After tasting defeat last time out to Sheffield Wednesday in Championship competition, Birmingham City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Birmingham City had 57% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Sheffield Wednesday got 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Barry Bannan (49') scored for Sheffield Wednesday.

The attacking players from Birmingham City have been starved of goals in their past 6 clashes, netting the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those fixtures, The Blues have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 4. That pattern might not be continued into this game, of course.

Looking at their past form shows that Birmingham City:

• have not emerged victorious against Norwich City when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 matches in the league. Not good.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 away league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 8 league matches. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

We envisage that Norwich City will most probably get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play Birmingham City, who might well find it difficult getting on the scoresheet.

We reckon that it will be a decent 2-0 winning score for Norwich City at full-time.
