Our 3 Predictions For Norwich City v Middlesbrough
- 1st Prediction: Norwich City to win 43/25
- 2nd Prediction: Over 2.5 goals 7/10
- 3rd Prediction: Borja Sainz to score 21/10
1st Prediction for Norwich City v Middlesbrough: Norwich City to win 43/25
Norwich come into this game with greater form than their opponents. An unbeaten spell of six home games could well provide the Canaries with the edge in this encounter. An impressive comeback from 2-0 down to finish the game against Preston North End on level terms, reinforced their resilience and ability to punish teams. Two wins against Hull City, 4-0, as well as a 3-2 away victory at Derby shows how cutting they have been this season. Boro’s two losses against Bristol City and Watford were redeemed by a 1-0 win over Sheffield United – but this could be a tough task for Michael Carrick’s side
2nd Prediction for Norwich City v Middlesbrough: Over 2.5 goals 7/10
Both sides are expected to match their attacking prowess. This bet has landed in three of Norwich’s previous five league matches. Boro have only seen this land once in their last five, but that was in another away visit – to Watford earlier this month. Four of their last four head-to-head matches have seen this bet land and could be expected to continue this trend as the Championship season heats up.
3rd Prediction for Norwich City v Middlesbrough: Borja Sainz to score 21/10
Sainz has been in electrifying form so far this campaign and is the current top scorer of the second tier. Eight goals and two assists have massively contributed to Norwich’s eighth-placed position after 11 games. A fantastic partnership has been formed between Sainz and striker, Josh Sargent. Another home game could be the perfect opportunity for the 23-year-old to add to his tally. A hat-trick against Derby in September highlighted the clinical nature of the Spaniard and he could repeat these heroics once more.

Full preview of the game: Last results and head-to-head
Norwich are in decent form, having won three of their last six games emphatically. A 4-1 win against Watford sparked the unbeaten run, featuring a 1-1 draw against an impressive Leeds United team. The Canaries have only lost two games this season and will hope to add another three points to their current tally of 17.
Carrick’s side have only scored eleven goals so far this season, but have conceding a mere nine. A recent victory at the Riverside Stadium, saw Boro beat Sheffield United as Chris Wilder faced off against his former side. Narrow victories have been mixed in with narrow defeats in the past five weeks – with only one or two goals separating them and their opposition.
The head-to-head record in their last 15 meetings sees Norwich just edge ahead on seven wins to Middlesbrough’s six. Two draws have also involved the two sides in this period and Boro have won the last four meetings. This could be a different story this time round, with Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side becoming the joint-second top goalscorers last weekend.
