Norwich vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 16/12/2020, 06:52 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 16/12/2020 at 17:20 in Championship Predictions

Norwich City regained top spot in the Championship after winning at Reading on Wednesday to go three points clear. They now look to make it three successive home league victories with a win over tenth placed Cardiff City. Norwich had lost their place at the top of the table after Bournemouth beat Wycombe on Tuesday evening. Wednesday saw Norwich with a tough away game at Reading and it took a Teemu Pukki penalty in the second half to secure the three points. That was their fourth straight league win and all have been by a 2-1 scoreline! That's been the score in their last two home league matches with victories over Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday. This is an early kick-off game and a win will take Norwich six points above all their rivals for a few hours.City are unbeaten in their last seven home league fixtures, winning five and drawing two. Four of those games have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. Each of the last three has seen both teams score. Their last six games in the Championship have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals scored.

Cardiff City also won on Wednesday evening but it wasn't the easiest of victories. They beat Birmingham City 3-2 at home but trailed 2-1 with 16 minutes of normal time remaining. Then they missed a penalty but equalized four minutes later. An 89th minute goal secured Cardiff's fifth win in their last six league games. The other match was a 2-0 home loss to Swansea City last weekend. It's a big improvement in form for Cardiff who had won one of eight games before this run of form began at the end of last month. Form on their travels has picked up too with the last two at Watford and Stoke City (both challenging for promotion) won, though they had to come from behind to win at Stoke. Norwich are the form pick though and can get another important win with both teams scoring. A small stake on a 2-1 win for Norwich might be a good idea too.

Our Norwich vs Cardiff Prediction

Norwich keep on winning and by a 2-1 scoreline. They had a good win at Reading on Wednesday and a win in this match will take them six points clear at the top. Teemu Pukki is in good form with three goals in his last two games. Cardiff City won't be an easy game for Norwich but they struggled to get past Birmingham on Wednesday. With home advantage, Norwich can get another important win but it's likely both teams will get on the scoresheet.
