Birmingham vs Norwich tips and predictions

Norwich presenting a challenge

It's 22nd placed Birmingham welcoming fifth placed Norwich in this Championship clash as the visitors look to add digits to the 26-point gap between the sides.

Norwich are the best value pick. This is a match that could be dramatic. It's hard to see anything but an open, attacking contest here as the visitors are seeking a positive result.

There is not a huge amount of distance between these sides and the hosts will want to move on from some of their recent results. The Blues are a bit of a mystery at the moment. They've lost 4 of their last 6 games at home. A look at some of the away side's results provides some clues for what to expect.

The visitors will like their chances. Norwich have won 11 of their last 20 outings. These latest wins have been made possible by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored at least once in all of their last 17 games and if they don't have any absentees from their starting 11 between now and the 12:30pm kick-off, they should have the goal scorers to add to this run of form.

Most observers believe that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in possession. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value on this occasion.

The head-to-head shows that Norwich have won 9 of the last 11 games between the two sides.
