Championship playoff hopefuls Norwich City and Coventry City clash at Carrow Road this weekend, with both sides seeking the three points that would serve their promotion aspirations well. Norwich come into the game on the back of two straight defeats, one in the league at Leeds, the other in the FA Cup at Anfield against Liverpool. David Wagner's team had been in good form up until those two losses and the German will be hoping his team can rediscover that positivity against a team that they have not lost to since February 2009, a span of nine games in all. They have landed some big wins over Coventry in recent years including a 6-1 win in the League Cup in August 2016, and a 3-0 in the league in Septembver 2022. With 8 wins from their 14 home league games this season too, home fans will be expectant of a positive result here.

Standing in their way is a Coventry City side who have been beaten six times out of 14 games on the road this season, but who have been much improved on the road of late, winning three of their last four (against Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Sunderland) and drawing the other away at Leeds. That suggests that the Sky Blues will be very confident of getting something from this game, especially seeing as they have not been beaten in any of their last ten league games, winning six and drawing four. Mark Robins team have seen both teams score in six of their last eight games, which suggests that goals at both ends could be on the cards here as Norwich City have seen both teams score in 62% of their league games this season too.
