In their continued push for an automatic promotion slot, Preston North End will meet Norwich on matchday 22 in the Championship. Third-placed Preston are looking to extend their unbeaten run, while Norwich, sitting 23rd, are just three points from safety. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.

Preston have lacked stability in their recent matches, which left them seven points off the top two. In their last seven matches, they won just twice, and those were against sides in the relegation zone – Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday.

Being unbeaten in their last two meetings with Norwich, they’ll be determined to carry on, coming off a 2-1 win against Oxford.

Norwich have posted some improvement in their quest for survival. After going through a 13-game winless run, there has been remarkable improvement in the last four matches. They’ve won twice, drawn once, and lost once.

The most recent was a 2-1 win against Southampton, a result likely to give them the season’s turnaround they so badly need. From their 21 matches so far, Norwich have managed just four wins.

They’ve performed well away from home, earning 10 of their 17 points on the road. However, in their last 17 matches, the Canaries kept no clean sheets but only failed to score in four.
