Bristol City v Norwich

Bristol City vs Norwich Preview

Bristol City extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to six games overall in midweek when The Robins picked up a decent point by way of a creditable 1-1 draw away from home at automatic promotion contenders, Sheffield United, and the west country hosts now sit in seventh place in the English second tier table as a result.

Norwich City threw away a 2-0 lead at home against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night as Johann Thorup's side lost 3-2 which left The Canaries sitting in a disappointing mid-table position of 11th place ahead of this weekend's Championship action as the visitors prepare for this tricky looking outing to Ashton Gate on Friday night.

Bristol City now find themselves just two points behind Coventry City and the play-off pack in the Championship table and having collected recent wins against the likes of Stoke City, Middlesbrough and Millwall respectively, Friday night's hosts will be confident that they can make home advantage count in this upcoming clash.

The bigger picture shows Bristol City have slipped to just two defeats within their previous 15 games overall in the English second tier whilst also picking up seven wins along the way, and The Robins have lost just once in their last 10 home games at Ashton Gate as well.

Norwich City's rather barren spell in recent weeks was extended on Tuesday night despite The Canaries holding a seemingly commanding 2-0 lead heading into half-time against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.

The Yorkshire opponents stormed back in the second half to take all three points with a 3-2 win at Carrow Road and Norwich City now face a tough looking evening at the office at Ashton Gate as Johann Thorup's side look to quell the hosts' impressive momentum of late.

A 4-2 home win against Stoke City has been Norwich City's only highlight in recent weeks in the Championship but this period of results also includes being handed defeats by Preston NE and the aforementioned Sheffield Wednesday as well.

Results away from home have also eluded Norwich City for the large part as The Canaries have managed to capture just two wins from their last 14 outings on the road in the Championship whilst stumbling to six defeats as well, so the visitors look to have their work cut out ahead of this Friday night encounter under the lights.
