THE PREDICTION
Norwich are currently sat three points clear at the top of the Championship having won their last four games. They face another side enjoying a strong run of form in Cardiff, who have won five of their last six Championship matches. All four of Norwich victories have come via a scoreline of two goals to one and the Canaries despite a heavy injury list have shown tremendous resilience to continue picking up the points. Both sides may show signs of fatigue with such a heavy recent schedule, which could affect the quality of the contest. Despite that, both teams will be expected to score when you consider that Norwich despite posing such a strong attacking threat, have not kept a clean sheet in their last seven league games. Although with home advantage in their favour and a number of key players getting back up to speed following injuries, Daniel Farke’s side should still wind up on the winning end of this one.
