Preview: Norwich City vs. Bristol City – prediction, team news, lineups

Having gone 21 matches without losing a league game at Carrow Road, Norwich would expect to be sitting far higher up the second-tier standings than they are.

Johannes Hoff Thorup‘s side did have momentum just over a month ago, putting together a run of 13 points from six games, but that has since changed.

A streak of three successive draws has been followed by back-to-back defeats, losing away at Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.

Just one win has been recorded in their last seven games in the Championship, increasing the pressure on Thorup who has four league victories from 14 outings.

While the Canaries sit just four points adrift of the playoffs, they are also only three points above 22nd place in what is becoming a congested division.

Bristol City’s own lengthy unbeaten home streak came to an end in midweek as they suffered a dramatic 2-1 reverse at the hands of Sheffield United.

The Robins had been leading heading into the final five minutes, only to concede twice and have Rob Dickie sent off in a morale-sapping conclusion at Ashton Gate.

Liam Manning‘s team also lost for the first time in nine matches, albeit having posted five draws during their previous eight games.
