Our prediction for this Championship match:
Cardiff City and Norwich City square off against each other at Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Bluebirds have been in a fine form of late, winning three of their last five league games, while drawing two and, no doubt, they are capable of matching the Canaries in front of home fans. Defender Perry Ng serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Callum Robinson, Cian Ashford, Joe Ralls, Aaron Ramsey, Ryotaro Tsunoda, and Kion Etete remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Norwich City, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, but given Cardiff City’s five-game unbeaten run in the English second tier, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in South Wales. Midfielder Kenny McLean misses out through suspension, while all Marcelino Nunez, Angus Gunn, Liam Gibbs, Onel Hernandez, Christian Fassnacht, and Ashley Barnes remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
