Bristol City vs Norwich Predictions

• Bristol City have won six of their last eight home league games (D1, L1).
• Norwich have won just one of their last seven overall.
• The Canaries have eight defeats in 18 away league games (W4, D6).

Top six the target for Robins

Bristol City have a chance to move into the Championship play-off places on Friday night as they entertain Norwich before the rest of their rivals play over the weekend.

The Robins sit seventh in the standings and a win would see them climb to fifth, and they can make home advantage count against a Norwich side who tend to struggle away.

The Canaries still have a chance of breaking into the top six themselves as they are only seven points behind Coventry, who sit immediately above their hosts, but they arrive in mixed form and their road results have been an issue all season.

Norwich have won just one of their last seven games and they have lost eight of their 18 Championship trips, winning just four.

Bristol City have won six of their last eight in the league at Ashton Gate and are on a six-game unbeaten run overall (W3, D3), so a home win looks the standout option for our main bet.

A 2-1 win for the Robins is the correct score prediction as goals haven’t necessarily been the issue for Norwich. Both teams have scored in each of the visitors’ last five games and in four of Bristol City’s last five, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Norwich strike in defeat on Friday.
