Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Norwich City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to four league matches when they entertain Preston North End at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon following their recent defeat away at Newcastle United.
Norwich went down to a 4-3 loss at Newcastle United at the end of September but have since registered league wins over Wolves and Rotherham United along with a point away at Fulham during this week. However, Canaries boss Alex Neil will be livid that his team threw away a 2-goal lead at Craven Cottage, so I’m expecting a positive reaction here this afternoon.
Norwich hold an impressive record at Carrow Road so far this season with stats of 5-1-0 12/5 and they’ve won their last five home matches on the trot. Striker Cameron Jerome (6 goals) is the player to watch out for in this clash.
Visitors Preston North End have improved their fortunes in recent weeks thanks to a run of five league matches without defeat which includes wins gained against Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa and Huddersfield Town along with points taken off Birmingham City and Brighton away from home.
However, despite their recent turnaround in form, Preston still possess a below-par away record in the Championship that stands at 1-2-3 6/11 having gained most of their success at Deepdale where they’ve won their last four matches.
But away form has yielded just one win on their travels so far which was at out-of-sorts QPR early on in the piece, and that has been followed up with a run of four matches without a win on the road as they’ve also lost at Ipswich Town and Brentford.
Pick: Norwich City to win @ 1.62 bet365
