THE PREDICTION
League leaders Norwich face Cardiff knowing that this represents a golden opportunity to solidify their place at the top of the Championship. The Canaries beat Neil Harris’ side 2-0 in the reverse fixture between the two at Carrow Road just before Christmas and the Bluebirds have lost their last six games in all competitions. With key players like striker Kieffer Moore and captain Sean Morrison injured, this match has come at the worst possible time for Cardiff and a side containing the quality of Norwich should be able to take advantage and pick up another important three points in their battle for automatic promotion.
