Daniel Farke’s Norwich City and Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers meet at Carrow Road this Saturday in the EFL Championship. Last season, the Canaries were a Premier League team, while the Chairboys were plying their trade in England’s third tier. Wycombe have had a tough start so far, while Norwich are beginning to find their feet after two wins. Will the hosts be too strong in this one?

Norwich City Preview – Comfortable home victory for the Canaries?
Daniel Farke’s Norwich City started their Championship season in the best possible way, scoring late to secure a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium. However, City went on to take just one point from their next three.
After back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Bournemouth and Derby County, Norwich have won two on the spin. Having sealed a 2-1 victory over Rotherham United at the New York Stadium last Saturday, the Canaries edged past Birmingham City at Carrow Road in midweek, with Mario Vrancic scoring late in the 1-0 success.
Despite their patchy start, Norwich remain one of the favourites for promotion. Three points at the weekend is likely to lift Farke’s boys into the play-off places. In truth, Norwich should have no problems seeing off the struggling Chairboys.
Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Chairboys to crash to a seventh straight Championship defeat?
Gareth Ainsworth has done a remarkable job at Adams Park since arriving. However, keeping Wycombe Wanderers in the Championship beyond this season was always going to be an arduous task for the popular 47-year-old.
Wycombe have made a dreadful start, losing all six of their league matches thus far. To make matters worse, Wanderers have scored just one Championship goal, conceding a staggering 13 at the other end.

Despite giving league leaders Reading a good game in midweek, the 1-0 loss at the Madejski Stadium piled more misery on the Buckinghamshire club. Wycombe will be desperate to avoid a seventh straight Championship defeat at the weekend.
Norwich City vs Wycombe Wanderers Betting Advice
This will be the first league meeting between the two for over a decade, but the pair did play in the EFL Cup two seasons ago. It was a thriller at Adams Park, with Norwich securing a narrow 4-3 win. Let’s hope for more of the same in this one.
Key Facts – Norwich City vs Wycombe Wanderers Betting Tip
- Norwich and Wycombe have not met in league action for almost 11 years
- The Canaries have won their last two to move on to ten points
- Wycombe have lost each of their opening six Championship matches, scoring one and conceding 13
After a slow start, taking four points from their opening four, Norwich finally have lift off after wins over Rotherham and Birmingham. They should make it three victories on the bounce with a routine home triumph on Saturday.
Wycombe have failed to score in five of their six league matches, and we can Ainsworth’s boys drawing a blank at Carrow Road, too. Have a punt on Norwich to win to nil (evens).
Teemu Pukki set the Championship alight in his first season in England a couple of years back, but the Finn has netted just one league goal so far this term. Back Pukki to put things right by opening the scoring in this one at 3/1.
