Norwich City will be wanting a better result here after the 3-1 Championship defeat last time out to Middlesbrough.
In that game, Norwich City had 38% possession and 6 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Norwich City was Ashley Barnes (17'). For their opponents, Middlesbrough had 15 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Marcus Forss (37'), Emmanuel Latte Lath (43') and Lukas Engel (62') scored for Middlesbrough.
Itโs been seldom in recent games that Norwich City have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Norwich City have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 7 goals during that time. That trend might not follow through into this match, though.
Their prior results show that Norwich City:
- have left without a victory over Rotherham United in their last 2 matches in the league.
- are unbeaten in their previous 10 home league matches. It's been impressive.

๐๏ธ Team News: Norwich City
The Norwich City boss David Wagner will be thankful to have no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this match with a completely injury-free squad available for selection.
We are thinking that The Canaries could line up in a 4-2-3-1 system this time, utilising Angus Gunn, Jack Stacey, Jakob Sรถrensen, Ben Gibson, Dimitris Giannoulis, Gabriel Sara, Kenny McLean, Christian Fassnacht, Ashley Barnes, Marcelino Nรบรฑez and Josh Sargent.
๐ฐ Team News: Rotherham United
With a completely injury-free squad ready to go, the Rotherham United boss Leam Richardson does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash.
Weโre of the thinking that The Millers could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Viktor Johansson, Hakeem Odoffin, Jamie Lindsay, Cameron Humphreys, Peter Kioso, Andy Rinomhota, Christ Tiehi, Cafu, Shane Ferguson, Jordan Hugill and Sam Nombe.
๐ก Prediction
It looks to us that Norwich City will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
Conversely, Rotherham United will be up against it to score although we do think itโs probable that they will be seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
Weโre therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Norwich City when allโs said and done.
