Norwich vs Preston Prediction and Betting Tips 14 March 2026

Norwich City aim to extend their winning streak after a solid 2-1 victory over Sheffield United. Despite a lengthy injury list, we predict that they will defeat Preston 2-1 as Philippe Clement has strength in depth. The Canaries have been performing strongly, winning 70% of their games overall and scoring an average of 1.7 goals per match. At home, Norwich are even more dangerous, netting 2.0 goals per game while conceding just 0.83, keeping clean sheets in 33% of fixtures.

Preston North End are struggling at the other end of the table, having won just 10% of their matches this season. The Lilywhites were thrashed 3-0 by Coventry at the weekend and have scored only 0.6 goals per game overall. Injuries to key players Dobbin and Thompson make their task even harder, though both are pushing for a start.

H2H stats suggest a balanced history, but Norwich’s form and home advantage give them the upper hand. Past meetings see 67% over 1.5 goals, with BTTS in 52% of games. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Norwich to Win and Norwich Over 1.5 due to their strong home form and attacking potential.

This Championship match will be played on Saturday 14 March 2026 at 15:00.
