Prediction: 2-2
Norwich
Pride Park will host Saturday’s football game between Derby County and Norwich City, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship standings. The Rams aim to keep their 100% record at home intact and they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in the round 7 clash. The likes of Liam Thompson, David Ozoh, Kane Wilson, and Jake Rooney remain on the sidelines as well as left-back Callum Elder, who limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, the Canaries aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Watford. As Norwich looked sharp in front of goal in the Carrow Road clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Joshua Sargent should continue leading the line for the visitors despite failing to find the net in the last league match, whilst all Jakob Sorensen, Christian Fassnacht, and Ashley Barnes remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Conor Hourihane):
Conor Hourihane is an Irish footballer who plays for Barnsley. The midfielder was born on 2 February, 1991 and he started his youth career at Premier League club Sunderland. In 2011 he joined Plymouth Argyle and he spent three years at Home Park.
After scoring 15 goals in 125 appearances for the Pilgrims in 2014 Hourihane decided to take next big step in his career. On 23 June he signed a three-year deal with Barnsley for a fee of £250,000. In August he won the League One Player of the Month award and, no doubt, he made a flying start to his Barnsley career. Hourihane made 46 appearances for the Tykes in the 2014/2015 League One campaign, scoring 15 goals and he certainly helped the team return to the Championship.
The Irish midfielder has eight caps for the U-21 team. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as defensive and left midfielder as well. Conor Hourihane is a right-footed footballer.
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.
