Norwich vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions
Norwich City aim to return to winning ways in the Championship on Saturday when they host Blackburn Rovers at Carrow Road. In case you are looking to bet on this match, read on for our preview and prediction.
In their second straight home match, Norwich will be looking to build on a 4-3 win against Stevenage in the League Cup. Before that midweek win, the Canaries had suffered a 2-0 loss at newly promoted Oxford United.
That defeat raised questions about the side’s ambitions, having finished in the top six last season. It was another of Norwich’s poor defensive showings, which their latest win did little to address.
In their opening two matches, Norwich have conceded five times, but having scored four, they’ll feel ready to take on Blackburn.
Unlike Norwich, Blackburn have started their season with two wins in as many games. Their campaign commenced with a 4-2 home win against Derby County in the Championship.
Shifting focus to the League Cup, they ran riot in a 6-1 win on the road. A second straight away game follows and they’ll be targeting a third consecutive victory. It has been a mixed bag for Blackburn, scoring comfortably but struggling to keep clean sheets.
With 10 goals in two matches, the visitors will be confident of bagging three more points. Last season’s top scorer Samuel Szmodics is responsible for three of the goals and will be fired up for this game. The Rovers will be inspired by their run of three wins in the last four away league matches.

Our Norwich vs Blackburn Prediction
Norwich were convincingly beaten in their opening league game of the season and conceded three in the League Cup win. The first two matches exposed their defensive weaknesses.
Even as they play at home, it will not get any easier against the current Blackburn side. Still, we feel Norwich have what it takes to get a goal or two here. Blackburn aren’t the firmest in defence but what they lack at the back, is made up for in attack.
The two sides’ scoring forms make this a likely high-scoring match. Our prediction for Norwich City v Blackburn Rovers is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
