    07/03/19 2409

    On Friday night, Championship leaders Norwich host Swansea at Carrow Road, as the home side look to stretch their lead at the top of the table.

    Norwich City are currently two points clear of second place Leeds and four points clear of third place Sheffield United in the race for promotion. The Canaries have hit top form of late, winning five of their last six matches in the second tier. Last time out, Daniel Farke’s team recorded a 3-1 victory at Millwall.

    The victory over the Lions means that the home side has scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches in the top-flight. The Canaries attacking prowess has contributed to their last eight league games producing over 2.5 goals.

    Norwich are four games unbeaten in the second tier, having recorded three wins in the process. City have been lethal in front of goal at Carrow Road in the Championship, scoring at least three goals in eight of their last nine home league games.

    Swansea City have struggled for consistency after relegation from the Premier League last season. The Swans are 14th in the second tier table, seven points adrift of the play-off spots.

    The Welsh side has won just two league games in their last six matches. Last time out, the Swans recorded a 2-0 home win over Bolton Wanderers.

    Graham Potter’s team has a poor recent away record in the second tier, winning once in their last six matches on their travels while losing their last three away games in the Championship.

    The Swans have been poor defensively of late on their travels in the Championship, keeping just one clean sheet in their last 11 away matches. They have also scored just three goals in their last four away games in the league.

    Forebet predicts that Norwich will consolidate their lead at the top of the Championship table by recording a victory in a high scoring clash.
