Norwich City will host Middlesbrough in a mouthwatering round 3 clash of the English Championship. The two teams are coming into this game on the back of great results, but their contrasting styles and defensive forms could make for a fascinating contest. Read on to discover our best Norwich vs Middlesbrough match prediction.
The Canaries will be eager to keep their winning streak going, but they'll have to find a way to break down a stubborn Boro defence that has yet to concede this season. Still, our analysis points to goals at both ends of the pitch.
While Middlesbrough's perfect defensive record this season is impressive, it might be a bit misleading. In all competitions, the Boro have conceded a goal in seven of their last nine games, showing they are susceptible to leaking a goal. On the other hand, Norwich has been in fine scoring form, having found the back of the net in their last three home games in the Championship.
Their most recent result, a 2-1 away win over Portsmouth, showed they can score even when playing as the underdog. This is a great sign for the Canaries, especially since Middlesbrough just thrashed Millwall 3-0, the same team that beat Norwich 2-1 in round 1. This momentum, combined with their history of scoring against each other, makes a both-teams-to-score prediction a strong one.

Our Norwich vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Despite Middlesbrough's impressive start to the season without conceding a goal, their recent history across all competitions suggests that this defensive solidity is an exception rather than the norm. Norwich, meanwhile, has been consistently finding the back of the net, particularly at home and in recent clashes with Middlesbrough.
Given the historical trend of both teams scoring in their head-to-head matchups and Norwich's recent attacking form, it’s highly probable we will see goals from both sides. Hence, our Norwich vs Middlesbrough prediction is Both Teams To Score - Yes.
