Only goal difference separates Bristol City and Norwich ahead of their encounter in the English Championship round #9. Bristol start this round sixth in the standings with 14 points. Norwich are a place below Bristol with the same number of points, but with an inferior goal difference.
Bristol started the season in blistering form winning their first four matches scoring two goals in every match. However, things started going downhill from there on and Bristol have failed to win their next four matches – drawing and losing two. With just seven goals conceded this season, Bristol remain one of the strongest defensive units of the Championship. Even at home, Bristol have seen their two-match winning run followed by a loss and draw.
Norwich are in better form compared to their hosts, as they remain unbeaten in four matches coming into this game. Norwich have won three and drawn one of their last four matches with each of their three wins coming via a single goal margin. In fact, all six of Norwich’s win/loss results this season have come with a single goal margin indicating the tight nature of their games. Like their hosts, the ‘Canaries’ also have a strong defensive unit that has conceded only seven goals so far. Away from home in the Championship, Norwich have won two and drawn one, while losing just once.
Norwich City are in good form ahead of this round with three wins and one draw. Bristol City are an exact opposite with the hosts drawing and losing two of their last four matches. Additionally, Bristol have lost their last four matches against Norwich in all competitions. Furthermore, Norwich are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Bristol City in all competitions. We are expecting action in front of the goal, though, and are backing this match in the goals market.
