Norwich City vs Derby Analysis
Norwich City
Norwich City are building momentum in their bid to secure a playoff position in the Championship’s top six and the Canaries’ 1-0 win at Watford last weekend was their second win on the spin in the division and their fourth triumph in six league fixtures overall.
At Carrow Road, Norwich have collected ten points from the last 12 available and with American striker Joshua Sargent back fit and firing, City are priming themselves for a strong finish to the campaign.
City are odds-on favourites on Championship betting sites to claim the spoils against an out-of-sorts Derby County side in Norfolk on Saturday afternoon.
Team news: Norwich City were without Romaine Mundle, Niall Huggins and Ajibola Alese in their win over Middlesbrough on Monday and all three players remain doubtful.
Predicted Lineup: Patterson, Hume, Mepham, O’Nien, Cirkin, Neil, Bellingham, Roberts, Rigg, Le Fee, Isidor
Derby
Derby are firmly in the throes of a relegation battle this season and the Rams lost for the seventh time in a row in the Championship when they were narrowly beaten 1-0 at home by Sheffield United in their last assignment.
County have looked alarmingly blunt in attack and have failed to score in four of their last five Championship fixtures, increasing the pressure on under-fire manager, Paul Warne.
Derby have also come unstuck in five of their last six away games in the second tier, so any punters aiming to use online betting offers in the Championship markets this weekend, would be wise to oppose County here.
Team news: Callum Elder, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Kane Wilson and Dajaune Brown are in the treatment room at Derby County at present. Key defender Eiran Cashin has left the club to join Brighton.
Predicted Lineup: Widell Zetterstrom, Nyambe, Clarke, Forsyth, Jackson, Ozoh, Adams, Osborn, Goudmijn, Salvesen, Yates

- Derby failed to score in four of their last five league matches.
- Joshua Sargent has scored three times in his last two appearances for Norwich.
Norwich City vs Derby Prediction
Relegation-threatened Derby have lost seven games in a row in the Championship and County look ill-equipped to match a Norwich side that has been building a head of steam. The Canaries have won five of their last seven fixtures at Carrow Road and they are generously priced to pick up another three points at home here.
Prediction: Norwich City to win – 3/4 (-133) – RhinoBet
Norwich City vs Derby – The Ultimate Bet:
Over 1.5 Norwich goals – 1/1 (+100)
Norwich have had plenty of success in the final third at Carrow Road over the last couple of months, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven fixtures at that venue, and City have the tools in attack to trouble Derby.
County conceded at least two goals in four of their last six away games in the Championship and they also shipped three goals when they lost to Norwich (3-2) in the reverse fixture between the clubs in September. Back the Canaries to net over 1.5 goals against Derby again at even money here.
