Cardiff City Preview – Bluebirds to slump to a fourth straight league loss?
After finishing fifth and reaching the Championship play-offs last season, Cardiff City were expected to challenge for promotion once again this term. However, having played 22 games, the Welsh side are way down in 15th, eight points adrift of the top six.
The pressure is really starting to mount on boss Neil Harris, as his side have lost five of their last six league and cup matches. After three straight league losses, Cardiff were beaten by fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup last weekend.
The Bluebirds could do with maximum points from this one, but getting anything against the league’s best team will undoubtedly be a tough task for the club from South Wales. The home win is priced at 21/10.
Norwich City Preview – High-flying Canaries to chalk up another three points?
Daniel Farke’s Norwich City have had a sensational season so far, winning 14 of their opening 23 Championship matches. The Canaries have been the most consistent side in the second tier up until now, racking up 47 points from a possible 69. They will be desperate to keep that momentum going.
Norwich have been on an incredible run, winning 13 of their last 19 in the Championship. After a 1-0 defeat at Watford and a 1-1 home with Queens Park Rangers, City got back to winning ways with a 1-0 home triumph over Barnsley on January 2nd.
