MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Norwich were at their efficient best in midweek as Emi Buendia capitalised on a poor back pass to put Daniel Farke’s men ahead before a second half Teemu Pukki penalty put the East Anglian club on course for a 2-1 victory. The home side have won four straight league games and are six points clear of third-placed Watford. Cardiff were trailing 2-1 at home against an inconsistent Birmingham side in midweek but the Welsh side struck back with two late goals in order to claim a deserved victory. The Welsh side have now won five of their last six Championship matches and are closing in on the playoff places ahead of this weekend’s clash. Norwich are in fine form at the top of the Championship and will fancy their chances again here, despite the calibre of their opposition,

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Cardiff have won back-to-back league games against Norwich but face a tough test this time out.
