Norwich v Swansea

Norwich vs Swansea Preview

Norwich City maintained their push for a play-off spot in the Championship last weekend with a 1-1 draw at home with Bristol City which extended their unbeaten run in the second tier to four games, while Swansea City secured a third league win on the trot with a resounding 4-0 victory away from home at Huddersfield Town.

Norwich City have put together an impressive sequence of results lately in the Championship as The Canaries have been handed just the two losses within their last 15 league matches which has helped the hosts up into sixth place in the table and now well placed to grab one of the play-off places.

Defeats to Middlesbrough and Leicester City were both inflicted upon David Wagner's side on their travels but Saturday's hosts have also picked up no fewer than nine wins within these last 15 games and they once again look a force to be reckoned with this weekend as well.

Within these nine wins, Norwich City have collected seven of these on home soil at Carrow Road where the hosts have been dealt just four defeats so far in this season's campaign along with winning 15 of their 22 home games overall in the Championship and this sort of form should stand Norwich in good stead here as well.

Swansea City will be aiming to make it four league wins on the trot this Saturday when they make their way to Carrow Road to take on high-flying Norwich City following recent victories over the likes of Stoke City, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town, the latter being a particularly impressive 4-0 win on the road at the John Smith's Stadium last weekend.

These three recent wins on the trot have helped Swansea City into 14th place in the Championship table where the Welsh club hold a healthy 10-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three clubs prior to this weekend's action in the Championship.

However, having picked up just seven wins within their last 16 games overall suggests this could be a tough road trip for Luke Williams' side especially as four of these seven victories have been achieved on home soil at their swanseastadium.com.

Results away from home have been a little more ordinary though for Swansea City as The Swans have recorded just three wins from their last 12 outings on their travels whilst slipping to four defeats along the way with losses incurred at Southampton, Leicester City, Bristol City and Middlesbrough respectively.

Norwich City v Swansea City Verdict

Norwich City have won two of their last three meetings at home against Swansea City and The Canaries' need is greater than that of their visitors as the hosts chase down a play-off spot.
