Brentford Preview – Can the Bees get back to winning ways in midweek?
After missing out on promotion to the Premier League in the Championship play-offs last term, Brentford have made an indifferent start this season. The Bees have won three, lost three and drawn one of seven, sitting in 11th on ten points.
After wins over Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday, Brentford were beaten by Stoke City last weekend. Despite a late fightback, Thomas Frank’s men fell to a disappointing 3-2 defeat at the bet365 Stadium, which was their first away loss in any competition since the opening weekend of the Championship season.
Even though the London outfit have made a sloppy start, they are still one of the bookies’ favourites for the title. Victory against one of their promotion rivals in midweek will get the Bees back on track.
Norwich City Preview – Canaries to claim a fourth victory on the bounce?
Daniel Farke’s Norwich City were still suffering a Premier League relegation hangover at the start of this season, with the Canaries taking just four points from their opening four league matches. City were also beaten by fellow Championship side Luton Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
However, Norwich have well and truly got their act together of late, winning three on the spin. The Norfolk club beat Rotherham United 2-1 at the New York Stadium and Birmingham City 1-0 at Carrow Road. Norwich then made it three wins on the spin with a narrow 2-1 home victory over Wycombe Wanderers last time out, with Mario Vrancic scoring in injury time.
