Norwich City vs. Bristol City Preview

Tonight’s match is incredibly important to how the Championship league table is going to turn out. If Norwich City avoid defeat they will overtake Swansea and will be in an automatic promotion spot, which is impressive enough (If you consider that the Npower Championship is the hardest league to get out of in the world.) But what you must remember is that Norwich City were in League 1 last year; so finishing second would be a challenge worth of the prize (The prize being Premier league football.)

However the match tonight is not just about Norwich, it is about Bristol City too. Bristol had a poor start to the season but are now in very good form and have won their last four matches, they are now all but certain to stay up. Even so every team wants to finish a season on a high so that they can pick up where the left of in the upcoming season.

Both sides have players who can change games, Bristol City have David James, the goalkeeping maestro can be the difference between a clean sheet and letting in four goals, Albert Adomah had a great game against Portsmouth last week and looks like scoring more goals in games to come. Norwich have game changing players to, Henri Lansbury who scored his first two goals for the club in consecutive home games against Millwall and Reading - the former being a stoppage time winner and as looked influential ever since. My match prediction is 2-2 because I think Bristol’s extra confidence will get them goals but I think Norwich are too good not to score.
