---

Norwich City chalked up a third win on the bounce in the Championship with a midweek 2-1 home win against Sheffield United which followed previous recent victories gained over the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City.

Philippe Clement’s side have now managed to pick up eight wins within their last 10 matches in the Championship which has virtually guaranteed their second tier status for another season ahead of this weekend’s action.

Norwich City have won three of their last four games at home along with one defeat, the loss coming in the form of a 2-1 defeat at home to Birmingham City, but results overall on home soil at Carrow Road this season have still left a lot to be desired as The Canaries possess a home record of 7-1-10 21/23, the fourth-worst home record in the division.

Preston NE’s earlier ambitions of claiming a possible play-off spot in the Championship have well and truly gone out of the window as Paul Heckingbottom’s side have managed to pick up just the solitary win within their last nine league matches.

That rare success came in the form of a 1-0 home win against Portsmouth but also includes being involved in three stalemates along with being handed no fewer than seven defeats in the process.

However, only three of Preston’s recent seven losses were inflicted upon The Lilywhites on their travels where the visitors hold an overall away record of 5-7-6 19/23 which has seen Heckingbottom’s side more or less hold their own on the road this season.

The Betting Verdict

Preston NE are also unbeaten in their last three meetings with Norwich City.
