Prediction: 2-2
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on Carrow Road when Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Championship game. The Canaries were flying pretty low in the season opener, with the team losing to newcomers Oxford United at Kassam Stadium, but a 4-3 win over Stevenage in the EFL Cup gave them a confidence boost. Onel Hernandez is widely expected to start against Blackburn following his splendid performance in the midweek triumph, while important forward Ashley Barnes continue to miss out with injury.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team outplaying Derby in the Championship (4-2), while crushing Stockport (6-1) in the EFL Cup. As Norwich City are capable of finding the net on home soil, both teams to score betting option should be considered. John Eustace rested several first-team regulars in the EFL Cup game, but the 44-year-old tactician is going to field the best possible side against the Canaries.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
