Prediction: 3-1
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on Carrow Road when Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers face each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Canaries defeated Swansea City on the road thanks to Teemu Pukki’s goal, with the team keeping their automatic promotion hopes alive, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to secure a top-two finish.
Even though all Jon Rowe, Sam Byram, and Jakob Sorensen are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as Blackburn struggle on the travels. The Riversiders have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 23. As for the away side, Callum Brittain has joined the likes of Harry Pickering, Jack Vale, and Sam Barnes in the recovery room.
