Bristol City play host to Norwich City at Ashton Gate Stadium on matchday 43 of the EFL Championship. Bristol are in tenth place in the league standings, while Norwich are right ahead in ninth. Here's our match prediction.
Bristol City are tenth in the EFL Championship table and are locked on points (58) with their opponents in this impending encounter. There's still hope of securing a promotion playoff spot, but that'll require large favours and results elsewhere going their way.
After navigating five league games without a win, Roy Hodgson's charges enter this clash enjoying a three-match unbeaten run (W2, D1).
In their recent match, the Robins failed to beat QPR on the road and settled for a point in a goalless draw. They created decent chances worth 0.83 xG (expected goals), more than their opponents' 0.59 xG.
Norwich City also have their sights on securing a promotion playoff spot, but as things stand, they'll be content with a top-half finish.
The Canaries' recent match witnessed them drop all three points in a 2-0 home defeat against Ipswich Town. That result halted a three-match unbeaten league run, consisting of two wins and a solitary draw.
However, they'll fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways as they are on the road where they've won four of their last six matches. Notably, they are currently on a two-match winning streak.

Our Bristol City vs Norwich Prediction
Bristol have performed better than their opponents in this encounter. However, there's reason to believe they'll drop all three points in this one. Their home form has left much to be desired in the past few weeks, with three losses in four league games.
Norwich are more than capable of seeing off their opponents' threat. They have suffered just two defeats in their last eight matches at the Ashton Gate Stadium. Four of those encounters resulted in triumphs. It's worth noting that they come into this clash, having won two consecutive away league games. Our Bristol City vs Norwich City prediction: Norwich wins.
