Our prediction for this Championship match:
Norwich City and Coventry City lock horns at Carrow Road in what is expected to be an interesting Championship contest. The Canaries have been producing fine displays in recent festive fixtures, beating both Millwall and Luton Town, while sharing the spoils with QPR and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Anis Ben Slimane has joined the likes of Liam Gibbs and Josh Sargent in the recovery room, with Ante Crnac likely to step up.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s game following back-to-back draws with Millwall and Cardiff City. As Coventry City have been struggling on the road of late, conceding seven goals in total in the last three away games, there is a big value in betting on Norwich City. In their last meeting at Carrow Road, Norwich City defeated Coventry City 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is rated doubtful for the away team after limping off with injury in Wednesday’s draw with Cardiff.
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.
