Aside from battling a ballooning injury list, Norwich have a home game against Preston in the Championship to prepare for. This Saturday match finds Norwich 15th, one place and a point behind Preston. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Norwich have been in superb form in recent league games as they claw their way off the drop zone. The Canaries looked primed for relegation earlier in the season but have completely changed the narrative.
They are coming off their 14th win of the league campaign after beating Sheffield United 2-1. That was also their third straight win in the league and sixth in seven home matches.
While Norwich looked to be heading to the third tier, Preston seemed like serious candidates for promotion. All that has since changed, and Preston are coming off their 12th defeat of the season.
They lost 3-0 at Coventry City last time out. That was not just their third straight defeat; they’re on a six-game winless run, with four defeats in the process.
Across their last 10 matches, the Invincibles have posted one win, and they’ve conceded eight goals in their last three outings. Away matches have also come with a fair share of pain; Preston are winless in the last five and lost three.

Our Norwich vs Preston North End Prediction
Norwich look primed to end their inconsistent run against Preston when the two meet this Saturday. In the last two home games against Preston, Norwich failed to score. They are also winless in four home matches in this fixture.
There is hope, though, that this will all change on Saturday. The Canaries have won seven of their last 10 outings and six of the last seven games they hosted. Preston, on their part, have lost six and won just one of their last 10 games. Our prediction for Norwich v Preston is that Norwich wins.
