Norwich City v Preston North End Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Wednesday 22^nd August 2018 (Kick-off 7:45 PM)

On Wednesday night, Norwich and Preston clash at Carrow Road, as both teams look to kick-start their Championship campaigns with a victory.

Neither team has started the second tier campaign in positive fashion, as Norwich have failed to win any of their three league games. Meanwhile, Preston have won just once in their last three Championship matches.

The home side’s poor league form dates back to last season, as the Canaries have now won just once in their last eight outings in the Championship. One of the big issues for the Canaries of late in the league has been conceding goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last four league games.

However, the side from East Anglia have only suffered one defeat from their last six meetings with the visitors.

Top Football Bookmakers

Former Canaries boss Alex Neil returns to his former club in the away dugout. North end have been difficult to beat in recent games under the Scot, as the visitors have lost just once in eight Championship outings.

Their recent form on the road has also been decent, as North End have lost just three out of their last 16 away games in the second tier. The visitors have also picked up a draw on three of their last four visitors to Carrow Road.

Prediction

Draw and/or over 2.5 goals
