THE PREDICTION
For Norwich, the equation here is simple. Victory over Bournemouth will secure promotion back to the Premier League for the Canaries, however to do so they’ll need to get the better of a side in excellent form. Bournemouth have won their last five Championship matches and whilst they currently sit in fifth-place, cannot afford to slip up with the playoff race heating up and only five points separating them and seventh-placed Reading. With 14 goals scored by the Cherries over the course of those last five victories and Norwich having won their last home match 7-0, an entertaining encounter may be on the cards so regardless of who comes out on top, both teams to score may prove the smart play.
