Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers, Norwich City will look to climb to the playoffs berth when they take on Sunderland on Matchday 35. The Canaries are eyeing their fifth home win of the process and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Cuba midfielder Onel Hernandez is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Jon Rowe and Shan Duffy remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games. Sunderland have suffered three defeats in the previous four away matches, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on David Wagner’s troops this time out. The likes of Dennis Cirkin, Corry Evans, Niall Huggins, Bradley Dack, Aji Alese, and Patrick Roberts remain in Sunderland’s recovery room.
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.
