Derby County vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

It's been an up and down week for Derby County with that big win at Old Trafford followed by an away league defeat at Bolton Wanderers. That defeat took them down to ninth in the table but they are only out of the play-off positions on goal difference and a point behind fifth placed Norwich City. League form isn't impressive though with just one win in their last four but their defeats have been away from home. At Pride Park they have three wins and a draw from their last four and only one loss in the last eight including wins over Cardiff and Fulham who both went on to win promotion last season. Three of those last four at home have seen them keep clean sheets.

Norwich City are fifth in the table and only two points off the automatic promotion places. They are unbeaten in their last seven league and cup games and in the Championship have won their last four conceding just once. Norwich have only one defeat in their last five away league games but most of those games have been against sides who are down the bottom of the table. This is a tougher task for them and have only won one of their last seven away games against Derby County. A difficult game to predict but Derby's home form should see them get an important win.
