Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Coventry City, Preston will look to keep on climbing the standings when they face Norwich City on Matchday 11. The Lilywhites are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Championship and they should continue relying on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s encounter. Midfielder Benjamin Whiteman is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Canaries, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Stoke City. As Norwich City are likely to adopt a cautious approach as well, we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. You should know that only one goal in total has been netted in the previous two meetings between Preston and Norwich in the Championship. Marcelino Nunez is a major doubt after limping off with injury against the Potters, with Forson Amankwah being ready to step up.
Highlighted Player (Robbie Brady):
Robbie Brady is an Irish footballer who plays for Norwich City as a winger, but he is capable of playing at left back as well. Brady began his youth career at St. Kevin’s Boys, where he was spotted by Manchester United scouts. In 2008 he joined the Old Trafford outfit at age 16.
He played for Manchester United U-18 team, but he did not make his debut for the senior team. The Irish footballer played for Hull City on loan in the 2011/2012 and the 2012/2013 Championship campaigns and in January, 2013 he signed a permanent deal with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Robbie Brady made his Republic of Ireland debut on 8 September, 2012, in a 4-1 win over Oman and it has to be noted that he scored one goal and provided two assists for his teammates in the victory over the Asian team.
He represented the Boys in Green at the 2016 European Championship finals and he scored the winner against Italy that helped the team make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
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.
