Norwich City

WWWLDW

Norwich City will be looking for another win after a 1-0 Championship success over Barnsley.

In that match, Norwich City managed 66% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The scorer for Norwich City was Emiliano Buendía (62'). On the other side, Barnsley got 8 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Norwich City backline. The Canaries have been stingy, with the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their last 6 games standing at 4.

Coventry City

WDLDLW ⚖

Coventry City will go into this game following on from a 1-2 Championship win to beat Millwall in their previous outing.

In that game, Coventry City managed 51% possession and 16 shots at goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Coventry City was Gustavo Hamer (26'). At the other end, Millwall got 6 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Jake Cooper (20' Own goal) and Jed Wallace (74') scored for Millwall.

It is worth noting that Coventry City have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six games, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those matches, The Sky Blues have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 5. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Sam Byram (Hamstring Injury), Adam Idah (Knee Injury) and Aston Oxborough (Achilles tendon surgery) are unavailable for Norwich boss Daniel Farke.

📋 Team News: Coventry City

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Norwich City can and should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

Conversely, Coventry City won’t find it easy to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be pulling one back during this clash, too.

Accordingly, we see a 3-1 win for Norwich City by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
